Yarmouthport, Massachusetts is located in the middle of the Cape Cod peninsula, extending from Cape Cod Bay on the north to the shores of Nantucket Sound on the south. Originally settled by the Pilgrims in 1639, Yarmouth was incorporated later that same year. Early industry was dominated by agriculture and maritime activities, with extensive trade at both the northern and southern ports. The arrival of a railroad in the 1800s precipitated Yarmouth's emergence as a popular tourist destination, and the town remains an active resort community with several downtown shops today.
The most striking physical features of Yarmouth are the result of glaciations; the low round hills on the north side of town were created by the leading edge of the glacier as it pushed the land before it. The flat sandy terrain of the southern part of town is the apron of material that was washed out from the glacial ice.
Yarmouth is a member of the Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School District and has five excellent public schools. Recent years have seen the emergence of a significant artistic community in Yarmouth, with a growing number of professional and community music, art, dance and theater groups in town. Yarmouth enjoys a variety of recreational programs, and facilities include fifteen public saltwater beaches, five freshwater beaches and two municipal golf courses.

Massachusetts: The Past, Present & Future of Our Country
"Why Massachusetts?"
Why not? Located in the heart of New England, Massachusetts is the region's most popular state. Rich with the history of our country and still on the cutting edge of technology, Massachusetts offers a perfect blend of the past, present and future.
From the stunning seacoast, Cape Cod, the islands and Boston to the peaceful beauty of the Berkshires and the Blue Hills, Massachusetts offers something to everyone! Every year, new residents are drawn to Massachusetts for the diversity of culture and activities available in Boston, the picturesque seaside communities, and the quaint rural towns for which New England is known.
With New Hampshire and Vermont on the northern border, New York to the west, and Connecticut and Rhode Island bordering on the south, Massachusetts is the most centrally located of the New England States. Cape Cod juts out into the Atlantic Ocean on the east like a bent arm, creating an easily recognizable state shape. A day trip to one of Massachusetts' beautiful beaches or islands is easily accessible from any part of the state, as is a trip to the Berkshires in the western part of the state.
For all of these reasons and more, it's easy to see why people are so proud to say they live in Massachusetts!
