Scope and Content: The Massachusetts Geographic Board was established by the governor at the request of the United States Geographic Board to prepare an accurate listing of Massachusetts place names.  The board’s staff compiler corresponded with town officials and residents in order to determine the historical background, local usage, and correct spelling of names.  This series contains that correspondence in the form of carbon copies of the compiler’s letters and replies from the towns.
Arrangement: Arranged alphabetically by town
