Newton is a city about 8 miles west of downtown Boston made up of thirteen villages instead of one downtown. It is called The Garden City. Each April the Boston Marathon climbs the Newton Hills, including Heartbreak Hill on Commonwealth Avenue.
English settlement began in 1639, and the town was incorporated as Cambridge Village on December 15, 1681. It was renamed Newtown in 1691, became Newton in 1766, and became a city on January 5, 1874. The Boston and Worcester railroad reached West Newton in 1834, which made Newton one of the country's earliest commuter suburbs. Newton is a village-by-village city where people walk to a local square for coffee, books and dinner. Commuters use the Green Line, the Worcester commuter rail and the Mass Pike to reach Boston.
