To Do
editI'd like to add a section on local gov't when I get a chance. What would be useful there? Town meeting date, probably, and selectman election system.
Also it would be interesting to ask the Library if they have anything they'd like to add. I'll do so if I get a chance.

I no longer live in Hadley so my interest is substantially less. - PhilipR 05:05, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- I guess someone else will just have to take it over. But I live in South Hadley... - Denimadept (talk) 17:22, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Hadley's farms
editMay I add a section on Hadley's Farms? I've lived here my whole life and I think I know a thing or two... Insomniachonchkrow 02:20, 24 January 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Insomniachonchkrow (talk • contribs)
- You should do one on the farms because the farms are more important than anything else in town. B-Movie Fan (talk) 21:07, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Geography
editThe Geography section currently claims that Hadley has land borders with Hatfield, Massachusetts, but that Northampton, Massachusetts is across the river. This may be twice wrong and backwards; one of the famous “Entering” signs at the town line, in this case for crossing from Hadley into Northampton, can be found on the east side of the Connecticut River, just southeast of the Coolidge Bridge, past the sidewalk on the eastbound side of the road. Doesn’t Northampton then have a land border with Hadley, if that sign is placed right on the line? Or, if not, is the sign erected on land and not posted mid-bridge at a river border merely to make maintenance easier and avoid distracted driving on the busy pedestrian and motor vehicle bridge?
In either case, it seems incorrect to say Hatfield has a land border with Hadley. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:193:8200:1670:EDBD:601F:8A74:2500 (talk) 18:30, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- The sign on the Coolidge Bridge is not officially placed at the dividing line; MASSGIS puts the line in the middle of the main channel of the river, which seems to be true for all of the borders along the river. As an example, when the river shifted and created the Oxbow in 1840 that land transferred from Hadley to Northampton. See MassMapper. Anyway, your point about the description in the article is well-taken, so I’ve rewritten it to group the bordering towns into land borders and river borders. — Andy Anderson 23:25, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
