It became a state by being one of the initial thirteen colonies and one of the early ratifies of the United States Constitution. Massachusetts was established by European colonists hundreds of years before the United States declared independence, as far back as when the passengers aboard the Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock. On February 6, 1788, Massachusetts was named the sixth state to ratify the United States Constitution... it was annexed.
