List of villages in Massachusetts

This is a list of villages in Massachusetts, arranged alphabetically.

In Massachusetts, villages usually do not have any official legal status; all villages are part of an incorporated municipality (town or city - see List of municipalities in Massachusetts) which is the smallest official form of government. The terms "community", "district", "neighborhood", and "section" are often used to describe these non-municipal entities, which vary considerably in size and relative geographic isolation. [ [http://www.sec.state.ma.us/cis/cisuno/unoidx.htm Archaic Community, District, Neighborhood, Section and Village, Names in Massachusetts] . Massachusetts Secretary of State Citizen Information Service. Retrieved 2008 Apr 13.] Boundaries are sometimes ambiguous, though the United States Census uses the term census-designated place when it assigns boundaries to these entities (based on local usage) for the purpose of tabulating community demographics. Many villages have neighborhood associations.
