Because Boston is bounded on the east by a huge harbor, the area known as
Greater Boston is a distinct crescent around two-thirds of the city. The
crescent's upper part is called the North Shore, the middle part is "West of
Boston" and the lower part of the crescent is the South Shore. Each area has a
rich history. The North Shore is known for its seaports, fishing fleets and
association with artists on Cape Anne. West of Boston is typical New England
countryside while the South Shore is known for its old and elegant seaside
towns.
