Best Answer

Tornadoes have been occurring in the area we now call Massachusetts since before settlers were around to record them, so there is no way of knowing. The first known tornado in Massachusetts struck Cambridge on July 8, 1680, killing one person. Another storm that might have been a tornado struck in 1671.
