The Massachusetts Bay colony, founded on the North American shores in the vicinity of what is now known as Boston, was established by the Massachusetts Bay Company in 1628. This company was led by an English Puritan, the minister John White, while the majority of the company's settler-population were also Puritans seeking to practice their religion unfettered in the New World, while also establishing a trade route with the Old World.
