It is part of the Springfield, Massachusetts Metropolitan Statistical Area. Montgomery was first settled in 1767 and was officially incorporated in 1780 during the American Revolutionary War. The town was named after General Richard Montgomery, who died in the Battle of Quebec, part of an American attempt to capture Quebec City and gain Canadien support for the Patriot movement. The town took land from Westfield, Southampton, and unincorporated land that is now Huntington. For two centuries a farming community with a small town center, its population began to increase when Interstate 90 was built in 1957. Montgomery serves as an outer commuter town to Springfield.
