Where in New England did most of the people settle?

Answer 1

The very earliest were all in Massachusetts, but all of them, the later ones included, were by the water, be it the ocean, Cape Cod Bay or a river. The settlers clustered to the coast because the weather was milder and England, and thus a lifeline, was just a little bit closer.

Answer 2

In the early days of the American colonies, most people settled in Massachusetts. It was a well populated area compared to the other local colonies.
