If the following two sentences are both correct, do they have the same meaning?

1) Much of Boston knew about her affairs.

2) Most of Boston knew about her affairs.

Thank you.

@paok1970,
There's a subtle difference. The first one means that a great number of people knew but not necessarily the majority of the population, the second means the majority knew, (more than 50%.)
