Mattapoisett
is a small town located in southeastern Massachusetts, bordered by Fairhaven and Acushnet on the west, Rochester on the north, Marion on the east and Buzzards Bay on the south. It is approximately six miles east of New Bedford and 56 miles south of Boston. A charming New England town situated on a large harbor on Buzzards Bay, Mattapoisett comes from an Indian word meaning "a place of resting." This community was part of the town of Rochester until 1857 when it was incorporated as a separate town. Many ships, including the Acushnet, on which Herman Melville sailed, were built in Mattapoisett. Today, this peaceful little town boasts an old village with many historic homes, a fine historical museum, the harborfront Shipyard Park and Ned's Point Lighthouse. It's a great town to stroll and visit the shops and antique stores, enjoy the local nightlife and great restaurants. Visit the town beach or engage in other activities such as golf, tennis, fishing, biking, windsurfing, sailing and clamming. Mattapoinsett's convenient location makes it perfect for exploring the other villages of Buzzards Bay.
