Part of the Chicopee River Watershed, the Quabbin Reservoir was built between 1930 and 1939. In addition to the town of Enfield Massachusetts, pictured on the left, the towns of Dana, Greenwich, and Prescott were all officially dissolved and some of their buildings and cemeteries were relocated.
In April of 1938, the area covered by these towns was flooded and became the Quabbin Reservoir, which supplies the drinking water supply to the city of Boston as well as 40 other communities.
