Perhaps you are referring to the Massachusetts Bay colony, which did have a settlement in and around what is Boston today. This group of colonists, led by John Winthrop, were Puritans, and their religion was discriminated against in England. They wanted to establish a colony that would give them the right to worship, and to set up a city that would be an example to others, a light to the nations. Their goal when they arrived in 1630 was to demonstrate that their colony could be godly and still be prosperous and successful.
