Wareham, situated at the head
of Buzzards Bay, offers an exceptional location within easy traveling
distance to the Boston and Providence metropolitan areas. Boston is
about one hour away and Providence is about 45 minutes away. All of the
tourist amenities of the Cape Cod area are available in Wareham. The
town has over 54 miles of coastline enhanced by beaches, estuaries,
rivers and ponds which create a subtle contrast to a vibrant, growing
community. The town's quality of life offers an excellent home for
industry but particularly a home for people. From its early beginnings
of farming and ship building in the 1700s, Wareham has evolved a
diversified industrial and commercial economy with ample human and
natural resources to support continued growth. With a 1990 population of
just under 20,000, the town offers a distinctive social and economic mix
from stately mansions to modest cottages and high tech industry to
traditional boat building. (Seal and narrative supplied by community) |
