Agawam, City in Hampden County, Massachusetts, United States
Agawam occupies 24.2 square miles along the western bank of the Connecticut River, with Provin Mountain marking its highest elevation point at 27 meters.
Native Americans named this location Agawam, and William Pynchon acquired the land from the Pocomtuc Indians in 1636, establishing the initial settlement.
The Agawam Historical and Fire House Museum preserves local artifacts and documents while presenting exhibitions about regional development through different time periods.
The city government operates through a mayor-council structure, with eleven council members making decisions about municipal services and community development.
John Porter established a gin distillery in 1771 that operated until 1938, when the building became the Department of Public Works facility.
