Geographical and historical treatment of Massachusetts, constituent state (officially called a commonwealth) of the United States, located in the northeastern corner of the country.

Massachusetts is a state in the northeastern United States, within the region known as New England. Officially styled a commonwealth rather than a state, it covers approximately 10,554 square miles, making it the 44th largest state in the country and the seventh smallest.

Massachusetts is nicknamed "The Bay State" because of several large bays, which distinctly shape its coast: Massachusetts Bay and Cape Cod Bay, to the east; Buzzards Bay, to the south; and several cities and towns on the Massachusetts–Rhode Island border sit adjacent to Mount Hope Bay.

From the Atlantic Ocean to the Taconic Mountains, Massachusetts offers rich experiences both in cities and nature.
