The Board of Selectmen of the Town of Belchertown, Massachusetts, is the executive authority of the town government.[1]
List of Elected Members of the Board of Selectmen
First settled in 1731 as Cold Spring, the town was incorporated in 1741.
Following is a list of members of the Board of Selectmen who were elected between 1869 and 2019, based on over 100 years of Annual Reports at the Clapp Memorial Library, Belchertown. The records are complete beginning in 1886, though earlier reports were also used to compile this list. Dates given are the year of first election (usually between February and May of that year), and the final year in which they served. A person may or may not have served continuously during that period. This was especially true during the 1800s, in which Selectmen were elected only for one-year terms.[2]
