Northampton is a city in western Massachusetts and the county seat of Hampshire County, with a population of 29,571 at the 2020 census. A petition for a township was approved in 1653 and settlers made a permanent settlement in the early spring of 1654, on land of the Connecticut River Valley that the Pocumtuc confederacy had long occupied. The city lies in the Pioneer Valley and the Knowledge Corridor and is known as an academic, artistic, musical and countercultural hub. The Clarke School for the deaf, the first permanent oral school for the deaf in the United States, was founded there in 1867, and Smith College, now the largest of the Seven Sisters colleges, in 1871. The philosopher Chauncey Wright was born in Northampton.
