Yes, all of Massachusetts is incorporated into towns, unlike many other states in the US. From Wikipedia:

"...the cities and towns of Massachusetts divide up all of the land between them and there are no "unincorporated" areas or population centers."

None of Massachusetts is incorporated. Massachusetts is a state with a state governernment regulated in part by the Federal government. The definition of incorporated is:

To unite (one thing) with something else already in existence: incorporated the letter into her diary.
To admit as a member to a corporation or similar organization.
To cause to merge or combine together into a united whole.
To cause to form into a legal corporation: incorporate a business

A corporation has the following characteristics:
You don't need a large business to have a corporation. In fact, most of the new corporations that are formed each month in Illinois are small operations. Even the owners of home-based businesses may find incorporation quite advantageous. This article will discuss the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of conducting your business as a corporation.

What is a Corporation? A corporation is a nonhuman entity. No, it is not like ET, the ExtraTerrestrial, and it is not created by God or Mother Nature. Instead, corporations exist because of a statute known as the Business Corporation Act (BCA).

The most important feature of a corporation is that it exists entirely separate and apart from its owners. Virtually all the legal and tax advantages associated with corporations flow from this essential element.

Corporations must have at least one owner, but there is no upper limit. The owners are called shareholders or stockholders. The ownership interests of the shareholders in a corporation are divided into units called stock, shares, or shares of stock. The rules governing corporations along with the advantages and disadvantages apply equally to corporations owned by one or more than one shareholder.

As you can see by reading this, a state isn't owned by anybody. A corporation is owned by somebody and they are called stockholders. Hope this helps you with differentiating between a fgovernment business and a corporation.

Yes, every inch of it. We are probably adding a new town out of the former Fort Devins, soon to be called Devins. I think I heard the last town they added in this state was in 1888, and that was one town splitting from another
