Boston in Lincolnshire gave it's name to the city in Massachussets, as many of the settlers on the Mayflower set off for New England from there.
Grantham was the birthplace of Britain's first female Prime Minister and the town that first employed a regular female police officer. Grantham also was the Second World War headquarters of the Royal Air Force Bomber Command and it was there that the famous bouncing bomb raid of the Dambuster squadron on Germany's Mohne and Eder dams was planned.
The city of Lincoln was the scene of a fierce battle, in 1141, between Empress Matilda and King Stephen, in which the King was captured and his forces defeated.
