About Cohasset

When Captain John Smith discovered “Quonahasset” in 1614, he described it as a “paradise of all these parts.” It has remained so for more than three centuries. As a classic unspoiled New England village, Cohasset has been chosen as the setting for several movies and commercials.

Shipbuilding and mackerel fishing expanded in the early 1880s. During the 1870s, Cohasset’s maritime industry was on the decline but its scenic beauty and cool ocean breezes were discovered by actors and wealthy Bostonians who began summering here and building large estates. Yachts replaced fishing schooners in the harbor. In the early years of the 20th century, Cohasset benefited from forward thinking individuals who formed associations to acquire large tracts of land for public recreation and conservation. The 1930s and 1940s saw the large summer estates being transformed to year round residences. By the 1950’s, Cohasset had become increasingly suburban with many residents commuting to Boston. The beautiful Town of Cohasset covers a nine-square-mile area distinguished by its well-maintained colonial homes and its wild ocean vistas of spectacular beauty. The town is located just 20 miles south of Boston and is predomi-nately residential in character with a population of around 7,600. Route 3A bisects the town and provides access to a multitude of small and large businesses, boutiques and specialty shops. Cohasset Village encompasses a quaint, yet spacious, town common with a small duck pond, stores, boutiques and shops. Surrounding this lovely common are the famed colonial First Parish Meeting House and St. Stephen’s Church with its 56 bell carillon that has offered Sun-day concerts since 1824. Cohasset also boasts the renowned South Shore Music Circus and three historical museums (Caleb Lothrop House, Captain John Wilson House, and Maritime Museum). Many of Cohasset’s residents make the daily commute to work (into Boston and beyond) by train, bus, car or com-muter boat. The MBTA’s commuter rail Greenbush Line has a Cohasset station off Route 3A.

About Duxbury John Alden and Myles Standish were among the first settlers in Duxbury way back in the early 1600’s. Initially a farming community, Duxbury gained world renown status in the 18th century for the fine ships built there. Later, fishing became a major industry.

Today, after more than three centuries as a relatively quiet summer community, Duxbury is thriving. The spectacular harbor, the beautiful 5 mile long sandy peninsula, the sea captains homes and other fine colo-nial homes that line Washington Street, all add to the special charm of the authentic New England colonial town.

Duxbury Maritime Academy provides an enduring love and appreciation of the sea. The school system, on a 75 acre campus, is rated excellent, town services and programs are varied and comprehensive, and town planning and develop-ment has been thoughtful and effective as evidenced by the quality of new homes and new home areas in town.

Duxbury is truly an enchanting town that offers a most pleasant and sat-isfying way of life. A place that anyone would love to call home.

About Hanover Hanover, originally a part of Cohasset, was first settled in 1649. The town was incorporated in 1727 and named in honor of King George I of the ruling “House of Hanover”.

The North River played an important part in the town’s history. Ship-building, gristmills, sawmills and iron forges dotted its banks. Bog iron mining (iron ore deposits mined in and around the bogs) was another important industry, producing anchors, cannon balls, bells, stoves and hollow ware. The anchor for the USS Con-stitution (Old Ironside) was cast here.

Today, Hanover is a thriving residential community but, happily, one that has retained its old-fashioned rural New England charm. The white clapboard Town Hall, the many Revolutionary era homes, quiet residential neighborhoods, the herring run, and town park provide delightful contrast to the modern school system, the Hanover Mall and many other modern facilities. This, combined with exceptional recreational and cultural activities provide an almost unlimited selection of dining establishments and an abundance of historic sites, makes Hanover an exceptional town.

About Hingham

Hingham lies along the southwest corner of Boston Harbor, at the portion known as Hingham Bay. The town has several forests and parks, the largest of which, Wompatuck State Park, spreads into the neighboring towns of Cohasset, Scituate and Norwell.

There are also several conservation areas throughout town; the portion of the Boston Harbor Islands Nation-al Recreation Area in Hingham includes Bumpkin Island, Button Island, Langlee Island, Ragged Island, Sarah Island and the World’s End Reservation, which juts out into the bay. There is a marina along the mouth of the Weymouth Back River, and a public beach along the harbor.

The town of Hingham was dubbed “Bare Cove” by the first colonizing English in 1633, but two years later was incorporated as a town under the name “Hingham”. The land on which Hingham was settled was deeded to the English by the Wampanoag sachem Wompatuck in 1655. The town was named for Hingham, a village in the English county of Norfolk, East Anglia, whence most of the first colonists came, including Abraham Lincoln’s ancestor Samuel Lincoln (1622–90), his first American ancestor, who came to Massachusetts in 1637. A statue of President Lincoln adorns the area adjacent to downtown Hingham Square.

Hingham is home to the United States’ oldest continuously used house of worship, the Old Ship Church, built in 1681, which currently serves members of the Unitarian Universalist faith. Old Ship Church is the only remaining 17th-century Puritan meeting house in New England. The meeting house derives its name from the roof and ceiling rafters, which resemble an upside-down ship’s hull. Many of the builders were ship carpenters, and the form was common throughout East Anglia, the home of many of the town’s earliest settlers. The town boasts a wide assortment of eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century homes. Many of these may be found in the six historic districts set aside by the town of Hingham.

About Hull

Founded in 1622, and incorporated in 1647, the first settlement in Hull was a trading post erected by refugees who were expelled from Plymouth Colony for sedition and alleged profanation of the church. Not surprisingly, fishing was the pre-dominant early industry before the community’s long coastline and beautiful natural beaches led to its de-velopment as a popular resort area just 18 miles from Boston by car, and only 5 miles by boat.

Today’s Hull is a prized residential bedroom community with an ocean view. The three principal ‘hills’ Allerton, Strawberry, and Hull, typify Hull’s home style variety, which ranges from expensive single family homes and gracious colonials, to cottages and condominiums.

Schools, government, town services and land recreation facilities are all very good. Residents have a multitude of civic and social organizations to choose from as well as a host of entertainment and dining facilities. But it is the surrounding sea - the scent of it, the sight of it, the fun of it - that makes Hull so unique.

About Kingston

Kingston is a coastal community in Southeastern Massachusetts located about 35 miles south of Boston. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 20.5 square miles.

Before European settlers arrived, Kingston was within the tribal home-land of the Wampanoag people. Originally part of Plymouth, Kingston was first settled by Europeans shortly after the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock in 1620. It was settled once more in 1635. The Town was incorporated in 1726 and was named in honor of King George II. In 1675, several bloody battles during King Philip’s War occurred within Kingston’s borders and the residence of Governor Bradford, was raided by Wampanoag warriors. The American Revolutionary War era brig, USS Independence, was built by Kingston shipbuilders on the Jones River and has emerged as a town icon, featured on the Kingston town seal, as well as the subject of the town’s song, “Independence.”

In the 1950s Kingston was transformed from a small rural town into an extension of the Boston metropolitan area when Massachusetts Route 3 was constructed, connecting Boston to Cape Cod, with two exits in Kings-ton (and a third exit immediately over the town line in Duxbury). In the 1990s when the Old Colony Railroad was reopened as a commuter rail line, connecting once-rural Kingston with Boston, making Kingston become an even more viable place for commuters to live.

About Marshfield

Established in 1640, Marshfield’s fertile land and marshes provid-ed the early settlers with rich farmland and thriving homesteads. Later, the navigable North River spawned shipyards and with the building of the Boston to Plymouth Railroad, Marshfield became a favorite summer destination for well-to-do visitors.

Today, or course, Marshfield is a prosperous, residential community offering the benefits of an affordable lifestyle in a delightful waterfront setting. The schools are very good, as are community services. Recre-ational opportunities are virtually endless. The town is so pretty, with varied landscape and 5 miles of ocean beachfront and 20 miles of rivers, ponds, streams and marshes.

On a clear day a resident standing atop a hill overlooking the Atlantic can not only see Provincetown, 26 miles away. Marshfield blends the unique charms of New England colonial charm with seafaring flavor.

About Norwell Norwell first settled around 1634, was later named after Henry Norwell, a prominent and well-to-do summer resident. The North River, meandering eleven miles to the ocean, allowed Norwell to develop as a farming community and as a builder of many of the finest ships of her day including frigates, schooners and whaling ships. The Norwell Village Area Historic District is in the center of the town.

Today the North River, the salt marshes, the pine forests, and the 500 acres of town conversation land typify the character and flavor of this pretty New England town. Modern schools and other municipal buildings blend perfectly with the old colonial homes on Main Street, the wooded country roads, the open fields and old stone walls that give Norwell its unique charm.

Excellent recreational facilities, convenient shopping, easy access to Boston and special places like the South Shore Natural Science Center, Black Pond Preserve and, of course, the unspoiled North River make Norwell a town that is great to live in.

About Pembroke Pembroke is an attractive suburban community located in the South Shore area of southeastern Massachusetts. The Town is located 26 miles south of Boston. Pembroke is located off Route 3, a major highway con-necting to Boston via Interstate 93 to the north. The Town is also accessible to MBTA Commuter Rail service in nearby Hanson, Halifax, and Kingston, and the MBTA Red Line in Braintree and Quincy.

The earliest settlers of Pembroke were Robert Barker and Dolor Davis who settled in the area of Herring Brook in 1650. At the time, Indians wintered along the North River and grew a variety of crops. Because of its proximity to timber and location on the river, the Town in its early years was known for its ship building industry. The North River was the location of five shipyards. Between 1678 and 1871, 1,025 vessels were produced on the shores of the North River. The Brick Kiln Yard was where the Beaver was built; it was one of the ships involved in the Boston Tea party. Other famous North River Ships include the Columbia , the Bedford and the Maria. The Columbia was the first ship to sail around the Cape of Good Hope and the Columbia River is named after it. The Bedford was the first ship to sail into a foreign port flying the American Flag, and the Maria is depicted on the Town Seal.

Pembroke has traditionally been an agricultural and industrial community, but since WorldWar II has become primarily a residential community pro-viding housing for people working in the greater Boston metropolitan area.

About Scituate Scituate is a small to mid-sized seacoast community in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, located equi-distant between Boston and Plymouth. The population was 18,133 at the 2010 census. In the 375 years since its incorporation, it has evolved from a summer colony to a residential community but has managed to retain some of the flavor of its past. Ocean-related recreational activities make it a very desirable place in which to live and to raise families.

Its Town Pier accommodates a working fishing fleet and that, coupled with three business areas, represents commercial interests in the town. Scituate also has a strong sense of its history and commemorates its founding in August each year via the celebration of “Heritage Days”. Historic points of interest include: Scituate Light-house, The Old Oaken Bucket Homestead and Well, The Lawson Tower, Stockbridge Mill and the Cudworth House as well as the Little Red School House which is the home of the Scituate Historical Society.

Scituate was settled by a group of people from Plymouth about 1627, who were joined by immigrants from the county of Kent in England. They were initially governed by the General Court of Plymouth, but on October 5, 1636, the town incorporated as a separate entity. The name Scituate is derived from satuit, the Wampanoag term for cold brook, which refers to a brook that runs to the inner harbor of the town. Twelve homes and a sawmill were destroyed in King Philip’s War in 1676.

Fishing was a significant part of the local economy in the past, as well as the sea mossing industry. A small fish-ing fleet is still based in Scituate Harbor, although today the town is mostly residential.

The Town of Scituate is a delightful mix of rural, suburban and seaside lifestyles within a 25 mile ride to the City of Boston. The Greenbush Line of the MBTA Commuter Rail begins in Scituate with the Greenbush sta-tion, proceeds north to Scituate’s second stop, in North Scituate, where it continues to Cohasset and Hingham and finally South Station in Boston. The ride into Boston lasts approximately forty- five minutes.
