Massachusetts has had several towns, districts, and townships that got annexed to something else. Bethlehem, for example.

I have spent years researching the town and county boundaries of Mass., and have computerized it. I write my own software, and can superimpose boundaries of different dates. I have well over 1000 changes mapped out.
I hope to find a publisher for my Atlas. The index will have about 1400 entries.

My study includes all towns and townships found to have been under the jurisdiction of Mass., Mass. Bay Colony, Plymouth Colony - for the period of that jurisdiction. For example, Maine until 1820, SE NH until 1740, etc.

I have yet to find a publisher for my Historical Atlas of Massachusetts towns and counties, so I am looking for other ways to share my research.
I would be happy to answer any questions about Massachusetts town and county boundary history.

Hi!
I have spent years researching the history of Massachusetts town and county boundaries, and can reconstruct maps of any date.
The boundary history is complex, some places have been in 4 towns in a lifetime, some towns have had 20+ boundary changes.

I have spent years studying the history of Mass. town and county boundaries. It is complicated, some places have been in 4 towns in a lifetime. Towns and townships created, uncreated, boundary changes. Let me know if you have questions about this part of history.
