In 1639, Barnstable was established by the Plymouth Plantation
Colony as the third town on Cape Cod. Over time, Barnstable was
divided into seven distinct villages: Barnstable, Centerville,
Cotuit, Hyannis, Marstons Mills, Osterville, and West Barnstable.
Each of these communities grew and developed their own libraries,
schools, churches, and general stores. Local industry was abundant,
and residents were employed as blacksmiths, cobblers, copper
smiths, and farmers. Saltworks, cranberry bogs, shipbuilding, and
light industry also supported the area. Barnstable documents the
evolution of the town between the 1839 centennial celebration and
the 1939 tercentenary and shows how the advent of both the railroad
and steam-powered ships spurred great change in the town's
communities. Today, economic life revolves around Hyannis while the
other villages have become more residential in nature.
