Massachusetts Counties
Middlesex County takes the top spot as the most populous county in Massachusetts. It’s not surprising when you consider it includes Cambridge and parts of the Greater Boston area. Whereas Nantucket County is the least populous because it’s basically an island.
Most Populous: Middlesex County
Least Populous: Nantucket County
Sizewise, Worcester County is the biggest, spanning across central Massachusetts. It has cities, suburbs, and plenty of rural areas too. The smallest? If you just use landmass, that’d be Nantucket again. It might be tiny, but it’s big on coastal beauty.
Largest Area: Worcester County
Smallest Area: Nantucket County
Massachusetts counties have some cool history behind them. For instance, Suffolk County used to be much larger, but other counties split off from it over time. Now it’s basically just Boston and a few nearby towns. Or Franklin County, named after Benjamin Franklin.
The first counties in Massachusetts were set up back in 1643, with Essex, Middlesex, and Suffolk being among the original ones. Even though some counties don’t have functioning governments anymore, they’re still important for things like judicial districts and statistical areas.
