The year of the town's incorporation in the sidebar (1634) does not agree with the year in the text (1635). The Town of Hingham website (link on page) gives the correct year as 1635. Changed.

[edit] What's the deal with Bob Graham?

Why is Bob Graham listed as a Hinghamite? According to his article, we was born in Miami; his father was a Florida state senator; he attended Miami High from 1951 to 1955; His political career was entirely in Florida; and no mention of Massachusetts is made in the article. What's the deal, is this a mistake or what? Herostratus (talk) 23:12, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

According to articles like this, it's legit. AJD (talk) 03:06, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

This doesn't seem clear at all. The article you cite says that he wanted to be "near" his daughter, who does live in Hingham, but "near" does not mean he lives in the same town... the article says "He spends nights at Mather House, one of the undergraduate dorms at Harvard"; whether that means he lives there I don't know, but it certainly doesn't argue for Hingham as a domicile.

This article indicates that Graham bought a house in Hingham to live in for a few months a year. AJD (talk) 05:45, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
