Massachusetts Community Pages

Massachusetts classifies municipalities as either cities or towns, distinguished only by their form of government. Under state law, towns have an open town meeting or representative town meeting form of government. Cities, on the other hand, use a mayor-council or council-manager form, and are classified by the Census as "populated places". Based on the form of government, there are 14 counties in Massachusetts (although the state has abolished eight of its fourteen county governments between 1997 and 2000). There are 295 towns and 56 cities in Massachusetts. Some municipalities, however, still refer to themselves as "towns" even though they have a city form of government. A?-?L??M?-?Z??
