Worcester (c-eniconˈwʊstər ) is a city and the county seat of Worcester County, Massachusetts, United States. Named after Worcester, England, as of the 2010 Census the city's population was 181,045, making it the largest city in New England after Boston.

Worcester is located approximately 40 mi (64.4 km) west of Boston, and 38 mi (61.2 km) northeast of Springfield. Due to its location in central Massachusetts, amidst Massachusetts' major metropolitan regions, Worcester is known as the "Heart of the Commonwealth," thus, a heart is the official symbol of the city.

Worcester was considered its own region for centuries; however, with the encroachment of Boston's suburbs, it now marks the western periphery of the Boston-Worcester-Manchester (MA-RI-NH) U.S. Census Combined Statistical Area (CSA) (Greater Boston). The city features many fine examples of Victorian-era mill architecture.

Worcester Massachusetts Video

Massachusetts Attorney General's office and State Police have attempted to block this video from being posted on the internet with the threat of felony charges. The "nanny cam" video shows the state police making an illegal arrest of Paul Pechonis and a search of his home. See www.conte2006.com for updated details. A cease and desist letter with 48 hours notification was issued by Massachusetts State Police, Deputy legal Counsel Ms. Ann McCarthy on February 14, 2006. The letter claims under an organized crime statute MASS. GEN. L. ch. 272 § 99 that the display of the video is punishable as a felony. The Conte2006.com web site was ordered to stop the display of a video which captured Worcester District Attorney John J. Conte's Auburn State police C-Pac unit arresting Paul Pechonis under a misdemeanor warrant for threats to commit a crime (murder) some 30 days after a poster was discovered in Westborough District Court. The web site filed in US District Court for a Temporary restraining order, which was granted, thus allowing the video to remain on the web site peding a final hearing.
