New England in 1755 was a region of farming villages, fishing ports, and coastal trade, and Boston, with roughly fifteen thousand people, was its largest town. Massachusetts families made their living from cod fishing, shipping, and timber, while the Cape Cod towns of Barnstable and Sandwich depended on the sea for fish, salt, and small vessels. The colony was drawn into the war with France that had begun in 1754, and Massachusetts sent men to the northern frontier as British forces suffered their defeat at the Monongahela that July. By late 1755, Acadian exiles from Nova Scotia were arriving in Massachusetts ports, adding hardship to a colony already stretched by war.
