As a Massachusetts resident, I'm fully aware of the influence the British had in forming the commonwealth. They don't call the region New England for nothing.
1. Boston
Boston, Lincolnshire
Unlike its Massachusetts counterpart, this Boston is not a major metropolis, but it should be noted for The Stump, the parish church which has the highest tower in all of England.
2. Brighton
Brighton, East Sussex
In Massachusetts, Brighton is a college town for Boston College and Boston University students. In England, it is an ocean-side town with a wonderful night life and generally good natured people. Pretty similar I guess.
3. Oxford
Oxford, Oxfordshire
While the Massachusetts Oxford is a quiet suburb, the English Oxford of course is one of the world's most famous college towns with one of the world's most prestigous universities.
4. Mansfield
Mansfield, Nottinghamshire
Mansfield, MA is most well known for being home to the Tweeter Center, a renowned outdoor concert venue. English Mansfield lies on the River Maun (Maun's Field, then shortened to Mansfield). It is a very old city, dating back to 70AD. In the middle ages it served as a defense camp to thwart attacks from then hostile nation Yorkshire.
5. Andover
Andover, Hampshire
Andover, MA is well known for its prestigious prep school, Phillips Academy, where both Bush 41 and 43 attended (yet another example of W riding on his father's coat tails). Andover, England is a small town of 40,000 people that is situated on the River Anton
6. Weston
Weston, Devon
Weston, England is most notable for the M4 Motorway that runs nearby. Weston, MA is most notable for big, overpriced houses.
7. Dover
Dover, Kent
Dover, MA is known for having expansive plots of land and farms. Dover, England is a major port city.
