Western Massachusetts

Western Massachusetts is a geographical region of the state of Massachusetts which contains the Berkshires and the Pioneer Valley. Although there is no exact definition of the boundaries of Western Massachusetts, the most common definition consists of the counties of Berkshire, Franklin, Hampshire, and Hampden. A number of towns in Worcester County are often included, especially those near the Quabbin Reservoir, such as Athol, Petersham and Royalston. Some people of the Berkshires will assume the term only applies to their region of the state.
