Ernest Henry Rosasco (1907-1985)

Ernest Henry Rosasco (August 4, 1907 – July 1985) was an Italian-American jurist and politician who served as the twenty first Mayor of North Adams, Massachusetts and as a justice of the District Court of Berkshire County, Massachusetts. A tribute was made to him and his long serice to North Adams was made in the U.S. Congress in 1985. His picture remains in North Adams council chambers and his gavel was used to bring in the new government session in 2018.

Whether Roasasco should receive a pension was debated. In 1961, Rosasco was elected chairman of the Mount Greylock Commission, which managed the Mountain and surrounding park.
