| Mashpee, Massachusetts: (Derived from various state and town sources*)  Located
on Cape Cod, the Town of Mashpee is the fastest growing municipality in the Commonwealth,
and felt by its new and old residents to be one of the most gifted with natural beauty.
Along with the Martha's Vineyard Town of Gay Head, it is also unique as one of the
remaining homes of the Wampanoag Nation, the Native American tribe which met the Pilgrims
at Plymouth. Although now outnumbered by new residents, the Wampanoag continue to play a
significant role in defining the character of the community through the town's Indian
Museum, the annual July Pow Wow and other ongoing activities of the Tribal Council. With
over five miles of sandy beaches on Nantucket and Vineyard Sounds, extensive waterfrontage
on Waquoit and Popponesset Bays, four of the largest freshwater ponds on Cape Cod, the
three championship golf courses of New Seabury and Willowbend and numerous other visitor
amenities such as the nationally recognized Mashpee Commons project, Mashpee is a prime
resort, seasonal home and retirement community offering both a relaxed pace of life and a
complete range of services. With enhancement of its economic base in mind, the town is
actively seeking both environmentally friendly industrial and commercial development and
increased tourist facilities. As part of that effort the Board of Selectmen has officially
embarked on a "green tourism" development project focusing on enhanced access
and programming at the town's 1,000-plus acres of conservation lands as well as South Cape
Beach State Park, the Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and The Trustees of
Reservations' Lowell Holly and Mashpee River Reservations. In addition, 2200 acres in
Mashpee have been proposed for inclusion in a new National Wildlife Refuge. All of these
efforts are intended to insure that the town remains true to its Native American heritage,
maintains its economic vitality and protects its natural resources and the sense of
tranquility that makes residents feel it is one of the best places in the Commonwealth to
live, work and visit. Mashpee at a glance ...
