This creative reimagining of how some Massachusetts towns got named was inspired by telling tall tales to bored children in the car while traveling in the pre-digital entertainment era. Stories geared for adults and teens include Braintree, Raynham, Wellfleet, Brockton and fourteen others. Religious fanatics, explosions, Pirates, high stakes gambling, prize fighting, murder, smiling cats and a talking goose. It's all in there. Some stories are funny...some are not! A sampler of quickie tales to whet your appetite for more: How did... ...Belchertown get its name? Every year they used to have a big burping contest. ...Oak Bluffs get its name? The trees there like to play poker. ...Monroe get its name? It has something to do with a girl named Marilyn. ...Great Barrington get its name? They have a high opinion of themselves.
