Boston magazine is first published.

Published and owned by D. Herbert Lipson, it is the outgrowth of a publication by the Boston Chamber of Commerce that began in September 1962 and was itself an outgrowth of the Chamber of Commerce Journal, which began publishing in October 1909. According to former editor in chief David Rosenbaum, Lipson, who also published Philadelphia magazine, had “one good idea,” which was that city magazines should cater to people who lived in the suburbs “so that they could think they knew the city without having to go there.”
