There’s An Absurd Amount of Towns in Massachusetts That End in ‘ham’

Massachusetts town names tend to have a certain uniqueness about them. Usually, as soon as we hear and/or read the name of a town, even if we don't know where it is, we know if that is a town in the Bay State. It just so happens that if you were to mention any town that ends with 'ham', there is a good chance that town exists in Massachusetts given just how many there are of them.

Some states have the most towns that end in 'ville', or 'City', or 'town'. But in Massachusetts, we have a bunch of towns that end in 'ham'. Can you name them or locate them on a map?

As someone that's lived in the Bay State for just over a year now, I had no idea that towns that end in 'ham' here were even such a thing. But every state has its inner quirks. Apparently, in Massachusetts, ending them in 'ham' is a thing. In fact, on a recent list of fake towns in Massachusetts that was released, several of them ended that same way. One was even named 'Hamham'. If another one should ever be added to the list, that just might end up becoming the name of such town.

So, how many of these 19 Massachusetts towns that end in 'ham' do you know? Or how many have you visited? What's the town like? Let's find out about these towns ending in 'ham'. Maybe you've been to more than you realize. Or maybe make it your mission to visit each one...
