The town of Westport has long been tied to the sea. Its abundant
rivers provided waterpower for cotton and iron manufacturing, and
its protected harbor served as a base for the whaling and fishing
industry. Since it was first settled in the 1670s, generations of
farmers have worked Westport's soil, and agriculture remains an
important part of this coastal community. Water continues to define
this community, there is still an active commercial fishing fleet,
waterfront cottages fill with summer residents, and day-trippers
flock to the long sandy crescent of Horseneck Beach. Westport's
beauty is not simply in its past but exists today in the
well-preserved 18th- and 19th-century homes, the pristine
landscape, and the rich community life of its villages.
