Berkshire County, located in western Massachusetts, was named after Berkshire, a county in England. The name was adopted when the area was established in 1761, reflecting the influence of English settlers and their desire to replicate familiar geographic names in the New World. The term "Berkshire" itself is believed to derive from the Old English "Bercscir," meaning "the district of the fort."
