Historical U.S. Census Totals

Hampshire County formerly contained three additional towns, Enfield, Greenwich, and Prescott, which were disincorporated in 1938 due to the construction of Quabbin Reservoir. The former territory of the three, and of the former town of Dana in Worcester County (which was disincorporated at the same time for the same reason), was annexed to neighboring towns, although much of it is either underwater or closed to development.

The following criteria were used in the above list:

In Connecticut, coextensive towns/cities are listed as cities. Towns which include a city within, but not coextensive with, the town, are shown as towns.

In Massachusetts, only those municipalities which title themselves as cities are shown as cities. Those municipalities which are considered to be legal cities by the Massachusetts Secretary of State's office but which title themselves as towns are shown as towns.

If a county includes any unincorporated territory, this is noted following the list of municipalities in the county.

The only municipality name that is found in all six New England states is Warren. The Warren in Rhode Island is the largest of the six.

There are several muncipality names that can be found in five of the six New England states. These include Andover, Bridgewater, Bristol, Chester, Franklin, Lincoln, Plymouth, Richmond, Salisbury, Sharon, Washington and Windsor. Manchester also exists in five states if the Manchester-by-the-Sea in Massachusetts is counted (prior to the early 1990s, the Massachusetts community used to be just "Manchester", like the others). In most of the above cases, the missing state is Rhode Island, although in a few it is Connecticut (Lincoln, Richmond) or Massachusetts (Bristol).

There are at least three other place names that existed as municipality names in five of the six states in the 19th century, but lost this status due to one of more of the communities disincorporating or being annexed. Most notably, there were once municipalities named Roxbury in every New England state except Rhode Island, but the one in Massachusetts was annexed by Boston in the 1860s. "Roxbury" is still commonly used as a place name for the neighborhood in question, however, and is even recognized by the U.S. Postal Service as acceptable for addressing mail. Towns named Salem and Berlin could also once be found in five of the six New England states.
