Abstract. The Peter Bent Brigham Hospital was established in Boston in 1913.

Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital were brought together to create the Partners HealthCare health system.

Settled in 1851 by Mormons, most of whom were immigrants from Denmark, it was named in 1877 for the Mormon leader Brigham Young. A shipping and processing centre for products (fruits, wheat, and beets) of surrounding irrigated farmlands, the city also manufactures aircraft parts and textiles.
