Dividing line: Worcester
This is entirely arbitrary, but growing up north of Worcester, I always thought of Worcester as centered in Central MA. But I also didn't realize as a kid that Western MA goes that far. Your boundaries divide the state more evenly.
Reading that description of central MA gave me chills lol. No mans land from boston to springfield
Interesting, I would consider Westborough/Milford/Uxbridge area Central MA
Berkshire, Franklin, Hampshire, and Hampden county are Western Mass.
Someone finally nailed it
Western mass on the border with CT includes all of Hamden county your not in central MA until you hit Warren.WMass is all of and no more than Hamden,Hampshire,Franklin and Berkshire counties
Anything west of Newton = Western MA
-Quincy resident 😂
For what?
Any reason.
Worcester county divides eastern and central Massachusetts not eastern ans western MA.
Western MA is not divided by the Quabbin!
Western MA is not divided by the Connecticut river!
Western Massachusetts is:and only is the counties of Hamden,Hampshire,Franklin and Berkshire.End of arguement!
No love for Central?
Definitely not lol. Like MAs own flyover land. Auto bodies and dunks far as the eye can see
As opposed to racist MAGA hillbillies in the west or the uptight Boston area nimbys in the east? Anyone can make shitty generalizations you see.
Theres really not much MAGA western MA outside of Monson. Its not a generalization there are some nice looking hills in central but its mostly flat factory towns. Boston Im not a city guy but I get why people like access to all the stuff there. The rich nimbys would drive me insane.
I like it here.
Central mass? Like 128?
Waltham is Central Mass
Wut?
Only Worcester county is central MA
Worcester is the capital of Western MA.
I kinda forgot about Central Ma.
I love central ,Athol,Barre,Oakham the Auburn Mall ,I love worcester county.I used to make the hour drive on my days off just to hang out in Gardner.
Eastern mass is suburban hell

Fun fact: DuckDuckGo Maps which uses Apple Maps thinks Western Massachusetts is in Cambridge

All you Apple users really should switch to Android.
The Quaban is what I consider the center for eastern/western Massachusetts with the cape and islands separate.
What r u city folk doing in my new england!!
Berkshireites (Berkshires-ers?) regard that county as the "real" western Mass.
Birkshites?
Exit 1&2(Berkshires)then exit 3-8(Western Mass), then 9-11(Central Mass), 11a with on ((Eastern Mass)
Anything west of Six Flags is upstate New York/unclaimed wilderness
There’s a western mass?
