Erving is a small rural town in Franklin County, located on the Millers River in north-central Massachusetts, roughly 10 miles northeast of Greenfield. The Erving Elementary School district serves the town and has no high school, so secondary students typically attend school in neighboring communities. Erving is known for its scenic countryside, forested hills, and the Erving State Forest, which offers hiking, hunting, and other outdoor recreation. The town's character is largely rural and residential, with a close-knit community and a long agricultural and mill-town heritage along the river.
