It's no joke: There was once a push to make Cambridge the capital of Massachusetts. On this April Fool's Day, at least once city councilor in the city wants that moniker back.
A view of the potential South Cambridge from Memorial Drive. A Cambridge city councilor launched an April Fool's Day campaign to annex Boston. Cambridge city councilor Burhan Azeem unveiled an ad campaign this April Fool's Day to encourage the creation of what he's calls"MegaCambridge."
Joking aside, Azeem said he hoped the billboards would foster more conversation about regional planning on issues like the MBTA and public infrastructure, where the service or problem doesn't stop at any one community's borders. This isn't the first time Azeen has eyed up his neighbors for the greater good. Two years ago, he tweeted an image showing a wall-mounted graphic of"Camberville" — a portmanteau of Cambridge and Somerville — and suggested the two cities actually combine. If you were wondering, yes, this was also on April 1. And again, he was in on the joke; the"read more" link in the tweet pointed to a Google results page for"April Fools.
These maps shows the claims Massachusetts and other states made in the Northwest Territory after the Revolutionary War. By 1812, all of the land was ceded to the federal government.
