LEGAL
The Northampton Historical Society was incorporated in 1905 as a non-profit organization, independent of city government.
In 1989, the society began doing business as Historic Northampton to avoid confusion with the Northampton Historical Commission, a legally unrelated entity that oversees historic preservation issues for the city. In 2012, the organization's legal name was changed to Historic Northampton.
Historic Northampton is governed by a board of trustees.
