“Mighty Aphrodite” (mixed media), by Brookline, Mass., artist Martin R. Anderson, now at Bromfield Gallery, Boston
With a population of about 59,00, Brookline is the most populous municipality in Massachusetts to have a town (rather than city) form of government.
Niche, the ranking and review Web site, placed Brookline as the best place to live in Massachusetts and the 10th best in America.
Brookline was first settled in 1638 as a hamlet of Boston; it was incorporated as a separate town in 1705.
