Population 135. Incorporated 1779.
Until recently, this was the least populated town in Massachusetts. Today, some believe it is the oldest town in Berkshire County, perhaps dating back to one hardy settler in 1692. The Mount Washington Cemetery may also be the oldest in the country. In the 19th century this was a farming town; the other major business was snake hunting! Today Mount Washington is prized for its privacy and wild beauty.
