History

Mattapoisett was first settled in 1750 and was officially incorporated in 1857. Originally a part of Rochester, the land the settlers found had most likely been visited by European traders and sailors. There was also evidence of prior Wampanoag settlements, including burial grounds, on the land. In fact, the town name is Wampanoag for "a place of resting."

The Wampanoag, Wôpanâak in their language, are a Native American people. ...

Lumbering and farming were early trades, but the town thrived when shipyards began opening. From about 1740 to the 1860s, shipbuilding, as well as whaling, were the town's two most important industries. Some 400 ships were built in the shipyards in that period, including the Acushnet, the ship Herman Melville sailed on. The town supplied many of the whalers used on the East Coast in the first half of the nineteenth century, the last one, the Wanderer, being built in 1878, shortly after the discovery of oil in Pennsylvania. Herman Melville (August 1, 1819 – September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, essayist and poet. ...

After the whaling industry, as well as most of the shipbuilding, died down, the town became one of the many summer towns for prominent New York and Boston residents, including Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. Today the town is mostly a residential community, with many people working in New Bedford and Fairhaven, or operating summer tourist industries.^[1] Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. ...
