History

Bourne was first settled in 1640 as a part of the town of Sandwich. It was officially incorporated in 1884 as the last town to be incorporated in Barnstable County. It was named for Jonathan Bourne, whose father, Richard Bourne, served in the Massachusetts General Court at the time of settlement, as well as helping to found the settlement in Mashpee.^[1] The town lies at the northeast corner of Buzzards Bay, and is the site of Aptucxet Trading Post, the nation's oldest store. It was founded by the Pilgrims in 1627 at a site halfway between the two rivers which divided the Cape from the rest of the state. It was out of this location that the Cape Cod Canal was formed, in order to save time and lives by eliminating the need to sail around the hazardous eastern shores of Cape Cod. Because of the canal, Bourne is now considered the "first" town on the Cape, as all three bridges (the Bourne, Sagamore and the Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge all are located within the town. Also, due to the Canal, the town is divided, the majority of land lying on the Cape. Events December 1 - Portugal regains its independence from Spain and João IV of Portugal becomes king. ...

Bourne's geography was formed around its location on Buzzards Bay and the Cape Cod Canal. There are several necks (the local term for a peninsula and islands along the shore, which create several small coves and harbors. There are also several small ponds and rivers, all of which (except the Herring River, which feeds directly into the Canal) feed into Buzzards Bay. The largest of these, Buttermilk Bay, lies along the border with Wareham. Also, because of the large parcel of land occupied by Otis A.N.G.B., the majority of settlement is either along the shores of the Canal or along Buzzards Bay. There is also a small neighborhood (South Sagamore) located between the Canal and the northern boundaries of the base. The town also has a town forest and a small portion of the Shawme-Crowell State Forest (which is located along Otis's northern boundary). There are also many beaches along its shores, mostly along Buzzards Bay (although Sagamore Beach lies along Cape Cod Bay). Map of Buzzards Bay. ...

Education

Bourne operates its own school department, with five public schools in the town. There are three elementary schools, Ella F. Hoxie, James F. Peebles and the Otis Memorial Elementary School. All four serve grades one through four, with Otis being the only school to host kindergarten and pre-kindergarten classes. The town's middle school serves grades five through eight, and Bourne High School operates grades nine through twelve. The school's colors are purple and white, and their teams are the Canalmen and Lady Canalmen. Interestingly, their logo is one of the two main bridges in town; since both look alike, no one can say which one it actually is. Bourne's chief rival is Wareham High School.

Bourne High School's sports teams have been very successful in the recent past, including state championships in boy's hockey and girl's volleyball. Conference championships have been won by boy's tennis, soccer, and football. The baseball team recently performed very well in the 2007 MIAA State Tournament, losing to Cape-rival Harwich in the South Finals.

Additionally, Bourne is home to the Upper Cape Cod Regional Technical School, located above Route 6W. The school serves Bourne, Falmouth and Sandwich on the Cape, as well as Wareham and Marion off it. The town also has three private schools: Saint Margaret's Regional in Buzzards Bay, a Catholic school which serves grades K-8; The Bridgeview School in Sagamore, a private Montessori school serving Pre-K through 6th grades; and Beach Rose Waldorf School of Cape Cod, a Waldorf school located just south of the Bourne Bridge, serving grades Pre-K through 8.

Transportation

There are no interstate highways at all on Cape Cod. As such, the largest highways in Bourne are Route 3, U.S. Route 6, Route 25 and Route 28. Route 6 enters the town through Wareham and splits in two along either side of the canal before becoming the Mid-Cape Highway, a four-lane divided highway beginning at the western approach to the Sagamore Bridge. Along the canal, it is officially labeled as US 6E & US 6W (although both routes are two-way). Route 3, also known as the Pilgrim Highway, ends at the junction of 6E and the Sagamore Bridge. Up until 2006, the intersection was a rotary, which caused daily traffic nightmares during the busy summer tourist season. The rotary was removed, and final work should be done by 2007. Route 25's terminus is also in town, at the western approach of the Bourne Bridge. At that point, US 6W and Route 28 (which is concurrent with Route 6 from there to the Wareham line) cross the bridge and create another four lane divided highway, officially known as McArthur Boulevard. At a rotary at the main gate to Otis, Route 28A spurs off and heads towards Woods Hole in Falmouth. It is also at this point that the highway goes from being a surface road to a true limited-access highway.
