Quabbin Valley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Quabbin Valley is a region of Massachusetts. The region consists of areas drained by the Quabbin Reservoir and accompanying river systems in Franklin, Hampden, Hampshire, and Worcester counties. The area is sometimes known as the Swift River Valley region, a reference to the Swift River, which was dammed to form the reservoir.

The Central Quabbin Area Tourism Association includes Petersham and Hardwick on the reservoir's eastern side, and adds the following towns of Worcester County:
Additionally, any definition of the Quabbin area would have to include the four disincorporated towns that were flooded to create the reservoir: Dana, Enfield, Greenwich and Prescott.
