The map is incorrect, in that the towns of Brookline and Cohasset, which are part of Norfolk County, aren't marked in red. In fact, Cohasset's not on the map at all - it looks like it's fallen into the ocean. Can anything be done? AJD 07:44, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Wow, it's taken a long time, but ... I've updated the map. Brookline was easy enough, as its borders were indicated on the map, though it wasn't colored in; Cohasset didn't seem to be indicated, so I just did my best based on other maps. Improvements are welcome. --Jfruh 18:27, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanks! But: That's not actually Brookline. This is the fault of the lines on the map, not your fault, of course, but that little zone that you colored in actually contains both Brookline (part of Norfolk County) and Allston/Brighton (part of Suffolk County). The Suffolk County map doesn't get this right either. And as for Cohasset, well—what you've colored in is part of Hingham. Cohasset is Not On the Map. Fallen into the ocean. The boundaries of Plymouth County (containing Hingham) are right, but Cohasset is missing. AJD 18:41, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
Hmm, well, can you point me to a high-res better map? --Jfruh 19:46, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
You mean like these? The link is to the official town and county maps put out by the Mass. state gov't. AJD 19:53, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, that'll do. I'll try to redo the maps in the next few days. --Jfruh 20:23, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

How did Cohasset become separated from the rest of the county? -- Beland 03:04, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History

I hope somebody can enter from where Norfolk county came. Sources say formed in 1793. Was it cut out of Suffolk County? 76.102.31.185 (talk) 03:00, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
