This is from the 1868 timeframes or earlier, based on our research.
There were petitions to the legislature, referenda, and editorials to move the shire town, including a 1812 petition that read: “It is an incontrovertible fact that this town [Pittsfield] is more central.”
In 1854, a referendum placed before all the Berkshire towns asked: shall the court and jail be in Lenox or Pittsfield? Lenox won.
In 1868, the Hon. R. F. Plunkett met with legislators behind closed doors in the proverbial smoke-filled room. The deal was struck, the vote was taken, and the county seat was moved from Lenox to Pittsfield.
