Ever wonder about that strange dip in the Massachusetts-Connecticut border in Southwick? It is the result of a long and often contentious border dispute between the two states, dating back to the early colonial period. This episode explores the nearly 400-year history of this dispute, and the various controversies and border changes that occurred along the way.
