Where is Easthampton on map

Ah, beloved Easthampton. Have you ever played a game of pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey with a map of Massachusetts? If so, you might've landed darn close to this gem. Situated in the picturesque Pioneer Valley region of Western Massachusetts, Easthampton lies nestled between the regal Mt. Tom range and the serene Oxbow Lake. Just a scone throw away from Northampton - okay metaphorically, not literally - and about 15 miles north of Springfield. Its latitude and longitude coordinates tell the tale: 42.2668° N, 72.6689°W.

How big is Easthampton

Don't mistake Easthampton’s charm for smallness! This little, yet mighty nugget extends over approximately 13.6 square miles or 35.3 square kilometers, to satisfy any metric enthusiasts. Of this, nearly 0.6 square miles (1.6 square kilometers) are water bodies, consisting primarily of well-preserved lake and pond habitats that add that touch of serene sparkle to the locale. She may not be the largest showgirl on the Massachusetts stage, but let me tell you, Easthampton certainly knows how to make every inch count!

How many people live in Easthampton

Easthampton buzzes with a community as vibrant as a fresh box of crayons, and just as varied. As per the latest data, Easthampton is home to around 16,000 residents, carefully crafting a delightful paradox of rustic tranquility and artistic dynamism. The town truly embodies a tapestry of life, thrumming with the energy of a city but offering the comfort of a close-knit hamlet. Easthampton, in all its small-town grandeur, presents a beautifully bolstered sense of camaraderie that you can't help but be ensnared by. It's like attending a permanently charming block party where everyone knows your name and newcomers are always welcome!

Hey, I’m Evan! Even though I’ve been bitten by a piranha, left stranded in the Sahara when my camel ditched me, and even spent a night in a Bhutanese jail over a supposedly stolen fruit (I swear I didn’t take it!), I still love traveling so much I don’t think I’ll ever stop. With over 130 countries under my belt, I’m always on the lookout for the next wild adventure… hopefully with fewer bites, camel betrayals, and misunderstandings over fruit!
