New England is the name of the northernmost part of the U.S.
A collection of six states lay the foundation for New England: Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
In the beginning of the 17th century, New England became the first British colony in Northern America. The sailor and soldier John Smith was one of the more prominent figures of this colonization, and he was also the one who named the colony “New England”. The name, which was officially recognized by the contemporary king some decades later, has stuck ever since.
If you travel to New England, you will discover that the region stands out in one particular way: There is a majority of Irish and British people. An entire 21.1{de1b0ad95e7378669dc1b80fdc2fba4092936fc2e2616afd225ae486a42555d2} of New England’s population is either Irish or descendants from Ireland. The correlating number of British people is 13.7{de1b0ad95e7378669dc1b80fdc2fba4092936fc2e2616afd225ae486a42555d2}. These are the highest percentages in all of the U.S. – it is quite clear that this was the first British colony up north.
The biggest city in New England is Boston. If you are travelling to New England, you are probably going to arrive at one of Boston’s airports. Boston is situated in the state with the idiomatic name Massachusetts, and is also the capital of the same state. Moreover, most people consider Boston to be the capital of New England, if there can be such a thing. Boston is known as the fulcrum of medical developments and higher educations in the U.S. But Boston is much more than that: It is a great and beautiful city, where parks and lakes in the middle of the city contribute to making a stunning contrast to the city life and the factories. Boston has a lot of sports teams in the best American leagues, and is also home to some of the most well-respected newspapers in the U.S. There is a lot to be experienced in Boston, if you are travelling to New England.
New England is known to be one of the more romantic and natural places in the U.S. There are not particularly many large industrial cities, but on the other hand, there is still agriculture and lots of open natural landscapes. You can find a large amount of beautiful beaches in New England, where you can go and watch whales – and you can even go snowboarding or skiing during the winter, as one of the only possible places to do so in the U.S. New England is located far north in the U,S., which results in some special climate conditions. It is not always warm, and from time to time it rains there, in contrast to the more southern cities, such as Miami and Los Angeles. However, you will find unique nature and other experiences, that you should not deny yourself of!
On a holiday to New England, you can also experience New York. New York is not a part of New England, but the city is situated just south of it. The trip actually only takes a couple of hours on the road – and if you do not want to drive, there are a lot of flights and trains that can bring you there much faster. Many of those, who travel to New England, also spend a day or two in New York. USATours can plan your holiday so that you will either get to New York or simply just stay in New England – the decision is up to you.
Holidays to New England have become more and more popular within the last couple of years. Traditionally, Brits traveled to Las Vegas, New York, Texas and the like, but now it has gradually become popular visit the whole of the U.S. Many consider a holiday to New England to be a holiday to the more authentic part of the U.S., much more so than a holiday to the neon lit cities. And when everything is said and done, you can experience agriculture, beaches, parks, huge cities like New York just south of the border and Boston in Massachusetts on a holiday to New England. Driving between the cities is easy due to their close proximity.
