Falmouth sits on the southwest corner of Cape Cod, with 68 miles of shoreline on Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound. Woods Hole is the Cape's main ferry gateway to Martha's Vineyard and a world hub for ocean science, home to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Marine Biological Laboratory. Every August the 7-mile Falmouth Road Race draws Olympians and thousands of runners to town.
European settlers arrived at the Wampanoag land called Suckanesset in the 1660s, and the town was incorporated in 1686 and took the name Falmouth in 1694. The British warship HMS Nimrod fired on the Surf Drive shore in 1814. Katharine Lee Bates, author of America the Beautiful, was born here, and Falmouth Heights was laid out in the 1870s as a summer retreat for Worcester businessmen. Falmouth is a year-round town of more than 33,000 people spread across eight villages, mixing scientists, commuters, retirees, and summer families. Days revolve around the harbors, the beaches, the Shining Sea Bikeway, and a walkable Main Street.
