History Onset was developed in the 1880s as a summer camp meeting for Spiritualists. Many of the cottages still standing in Onset were built as second homes for individuals from Boston and other northeastern cities who gathered to hear mediums communicate with the dead. While it was run by the Spiritualists, the village was known as Onset Bay Grove. Spiritualism is a religious movement, prominent from the 1840s to the 1920s, found primarily in English-speaking countries. ...
