The map is somewhat problematic in that it doesn't show the names of cities and towns. Such a map is available at [1], though I don't know how the Commonwealth of Massachusetts handles copyright of its works. GIS files for production of new images from raw data are also available at [2]. -- Beland ( talk) 10:10, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
It should be fairly easy to merge in List of municipalities in Massachusetts by population by making a sortable wikitable with the following columns:

Near the top, I see "Minor civil divisions or "municipalities" in the U.S. state of Massachusetts ... " Afaik, Mass. is technically not a state, but a Commonwealth. Shouldn't that text be corrected, if this is true? (Fwiw, I'm a Mass. resident, although not really well-informed about this topic, just now.) Regards, Nikevich ( talk) 21:38, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
It's true that Massachusetts is a "Commonwealth," although that is only because the word is used in the formal name of the state, not that it carries any legal or other distinction. But the initiato of this section writes, "Afaik, Mass. is technically not a state," Thjis is NOT true. Massachusetts is, technically, a state, and the fact that its formal name is "The Commonwealth of Massachusetts" does not in any wake make it less of a state. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.56.192.106 ( talk) 20:28, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
This list includes two entries, Bradford and Hyannis, that are not on the official list of Massachusetts cities and towns. http://www.mass.gov/portal/government-taxes/local/cities-towns/cities-and-towns.html NewtonCourt ( talk) 20:39, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

The infobox adds nothing, and just repeats. Why is it even there? Mattximus ( talk) 14:01, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

You state there are 59 cities and 292 towns. But article "Massachusetts", which links to this page, no less, states a different number.
Because your numbers agree with a count of terms "city" and "town" in your table, offhand you sound right and they sound wrong. If so, fix their wagon.
That said, fantastic page of great factual details.

"However, from the perspective of Massachusetts law, politics, and geography, cities and towns are the same type of municipal unit, differing only in their form of government." Not true. Some state laws have different provisions for cities and towns. For instance, some of the limits on liquor licenses are different for cities than they are for towns. They are not the same type of municipal unit; they are similar but distictly different forms of municipality. 172.56.192.106 ( talk) 20:26, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
