Among the list of communities that New England Telephone sent me back in 1969 which Southern Massachusetts Telephone served was a listing for "Portsmouth". I always assumed this was relative to Portsmouth, RI since there never was a "Portsmouth" here in MA. And Portsmouth, NH was way too far north...at least 70 miles from the nearest So. Mass. Tel. Co. service area.
