Massachusetts was primarily settled by the Pilgrims, who arrived on the Mayflower in 1620 seeking religious freedom. They established the Plymouth Colony in search of a place to practice their Puritan beliefs without persecution. The Puritans followed in 1630, founding the Massachusetts Bay Colony with similar motivations, aiming to create a "city upon a hill" as a model of religious virtue.
