The Town of Agawam is a place of tradition and of opportunity. A convenient location, affordable land and buildings, and a low tax rate allow residents to build good lives and attract those who wish to buy a home or start a business. The highway system and nearby airport link Agawam to the surrounding region's many opportunities.

From the town's rural past, the community has retained a sense of being a small town where people participate in civic activities, school affairs and sports events. Many recreational opportunities are offered at the State Park and neighboring golf courses. The physical setting of Agawam, traditional farm fields, historic homes and village centers, with the natural location of the town including mountains, rivers, streams and wetlands, retain an appealing sense of quiet open space. A good place to raise children, with its family values and good schools, Agawam is also a good safe place to enjoy retirement years.
