Welcome to the South Coast of Massachusetts

Welcome! Youve found the most beautiful corner of Massachusetts, and my favorite place in the world: South Coast, Massachusetts. The South Coast is renowned for its beaches, and on this corner of Buzzards Bay, ocean breezes remind you that the best stuff in life is free. But look just beyond the surface and youll find an area steeped in culture. New Bedford played an integral role to the whaling industry and our storied past is preserved in world-class museums and historic sites; one of my favorites is Fort Tabor- one of the nations most unique attractions, blending history with a scenic ocean landscape. The seafaring tradition continues with the city getting a nod as one of Yachtings 2012 Best Towns. Today, the South Coast area is filled with unbelievably talented artists and musicians, and were beyond lucky to play home to one of the nations finest theaters, the Zeiterion. The Atlantic even named New Bedford the seventh most artistic city in America. Theres never been a more exciting time to be a part of this ongoing renaissance. And no matter when you visit, youll find stunning scenery and a variety of community festivals and events. Finally, I couldnt possibly talk about the South Coast without mentioning its world-class restaurants and bars. You may find me taking my mom out to dinner at one of the areas celebrated seafood eateries, or on date at any of downtown New Bedfords live music venues. After growing up in New Bedford and traveling to over 75 countries on six continents, I dont think theres a better place to visit or call home. On behalf of all of us who call the South Coast home, we hope you discover why we love this place so dearly.

The South Coast is lined with miles of sandy destinations to lounge, surf, and sun tan. Pitch an umbrella with family and friends against a backdrop of photo-worthy dunes.

NEW BEDFORDS HISTORY
New Bedford History

The History of New Bedford by New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park
New Bedford New Bedford is a vibrant city rich with history, culture, art, architecture and a community proud of its seafaring heritage. The city was once the whaling capital of the world and homeport to a fleet of hundreds of whaleships. Today, its the nations top fishing port. The same streets, buildings, and harbor ares visited by the likes of Herman Melville and Frederick Douglass, preserve the stories of early settlers, whaling merchants, maritime workers, and the many people for whom New Bedford was both a port of entry and of opportunity.
42

Downtown Information One of the pleasures of visiting downtown is to walk its cobblestone streets and look at its stately buildings, banks, and storehouses from New Bedfords whaling heyday. A visit to the many museums, galleries, restaurants, and retail stores is a perfect complement to your national park experience. Many historical and cultural attractions in the downtown area are open to the public, with some charging admission. Herman Melville In 1841, Herman Melville sailed out of New Bedford harbor on the whaleship Acushnet. That whaling experience inspired Melville to write what many consider the greatest American novel ever writtenMoby-Dick. Hetty Green By the time of her death in 1834, Henrietta (Hetty) Howland Robinson Green was recognized as the richest woman in the world. The Witch of Wall Street" invested the whaling fortune she inherited into real estate, railroads, and money lending. Frederick Douglass In the hopes of finding work as a caulker on New Bedfords waterfront, Frederick Douglass arrived in this city in 1838 after escaping slavery in Maryland. He and his wife Anna stayed with abolitionists Nathan and Mary (Polly) Johnson in their Seventh Street home. Underground Railroad In the mid-1800s, New Bedford was the whaling capital of the world. The success and global, exploratory nature of the whaling industry helped to create a bustling, cosmopolitan seaport community, and one of the richest and most diverse cities in the world. Opportunities for individuals and families from all backgrounds to make a living and prosper were readily available at sea and in the shoreside businesses that supported the whaling industry. New Bedford was also attractive to slaves seeking freedom because of the opportunities for employment presented by the whaling industry, the active abolitionist community, and the coastal trading system that provided escaping slaves opportunities to hide on vessels heading to New Bedford from southern ports.

The present waterfront was developed during the height of the whaling days.During that time it was the home of Manjiro Nakahama, the first Japanese person to live in America. Besides its nautical heritage, Fairhaven also boasts some of the most beautiful public buildings in New Englandgifts from Standard Oil millionaire Henry Huttleston Rogers, who grew up in town.The Italian Renaissance-style library, French Gothic town hall, English Perpendicular Gothic Unitarian Memorial Church, and the Elizabethaninfluence high school are iconic structures, designed by noted New England architect Charles Brigham.

Marions roots go back to 1679, when the area was first settled as a village known as Sippican in the town of Rochester. Rochester, Mattapoisett, and Sippicanwidely separate villages under the domain of Rochestergradually developed different interests and economies. These factors led to independence for Sippican, which was renamed Marion in 1852 in honor of the Revolutionary War hero, Francis Marion. Today it has a stable year-round population that moderately increases in the summertime. Over the years, the heterogeneous population has worked hard to preserve Marions rich historic traditions.

The Town of Mattapoisett has a long and colorful history dating back to 1640. The name, meaning place of rest, comes from the Wampanoag language. For two hundred years the Village of Mattapoisett lay within the Township of Rochester, but in 1857 Mattapoisett petitioned and became an independent town. The long wharves at the waters edge, built from a local quarrys granite, serve as a silent memorial to the once thriving ship building industry on the shores of Buzzards Bay. Shipyard Park, adjacent to the wharves, is the site of Jonathan Holmes dry dock where in 1878 the last whale ship to be built in Mattapoisett, the Wanderer, was launched. For many years the flagpole in the park was the mizzen mast salvaged from the Wanderer after it was wrecked off Cuttyhunk in 1924. Across Water Street is the famous Meigs Tavern (now the Inn at Shipyard Park), built in 1800 by a shipyard owner Joseph Meigs. At the entrance to the harbor stands Neds Point Light, constructed in 1837 by another shipyard owner Leonard Hammond. To this day the light guides the way of returning vessels into Mattapoisetts busy harbor. Mattapoisett remains a thriving community with schools, churches, stores, restaurants, banks, a library, museum, and a variety of businesses. In the summer the Mattapoisett Harbor is filled with hundreds of pleasure crafts.

Westport
Westport is a small town nestled between Dartmouth and Fall River. It was so named because it was the westernmost port in the Massachusetts Bay Colony when it was first settled in 1670 as a part of the town of Dartmouth. In 1787, the town, along with the town of New Bedford, seceded from Dartmouth. The town is now mostly residential, with a large farming community. A 15-minute drive from New Bedford, Westport serves up a mix of small-town feel and a family-friendly beach atmosphere. Westport is home to Horseneck Beach, the largest public beach in the South Coast chain. Many travelers find their way to this popular coastline attraction by heading down Route 88 off of I-195. If you take this route, be sure to stop in the Westport town square and visit Partners Village store. Grab yourself a lunch at their cafe or a refreshing beverage to add to the cooler. Close by are other fine clothing stores and gift shops. Travelers also have a more scenic option of heading through Dartmouth by way of Horseneck Road. Here you can explore some of the backcountry restaurants, as well as Gooseberry Island another another well-known landmark (during World War II, a coastal defense installation was raise on the island). Just across the Westport Harbor, be sure to visit the Back Eddy for a four-star meal and music on the water. Lunch or late dinner will surely not disappoint! If you love lobster, you may even get the chance to buy some fresh ones from local lobster boats. Feeling more adventurous? Westport has you covered. Explore the Westport River by kayak or paddleboard or venture to the local vineyards and brewery for some relaxation.

The Future of New Bedford

THE FUTURE OF NEW BEDFORD
Written by Steven Martins New Bedford City Council President & Ward 2 City Councilor
Upper Harbor District Rivers End Park will be completed this season and open for public access. Located at the head of the Acushnet River, on River Street near Tarkiln Hill Road, the park amenities include a walking a path, picnic tables, and a playground. Acushnet Avenue International Marketplace update: The Acushnet Avenue International Marketplace project is an initiative to redesign a section of Acushnet Avenue from Coggeshall Street to Sawyer Street in Phase 1, in a way that enhances the vibrancy of this key business district. As a result of community support, planning and public input, the Acushnet Avenue International Marketplace is moving forward. The International Marketplace project includes traffic signal improvements, utility upgrades and streetscape improvements, including: new lighting, attractive seating and planting areas, wider sidewalks, bump outs and bicycle accommodations along Acushnet Avenue from Route 18 just south of Coggeshall Street to Beetle Street. Route 18 update: (Now called JFK Boulevard); JFK Boulevard Phase 1 will be completed this spring, linking historic downtown New Bedford, the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park, and the working waterfront. Custom House Square In 2012, the City received a $300,000 Gateway Urban Parks Grant to build a park at Custom House Square. Scheduled to be complete in the summer of 2013, the project will provide the desired green space, designed by Stoss Landscape Urbanism, that has been missing from the downtown core and become a public space for family recreation, farmers markets and other public events. Brooklawn Park - covers over 85 acres, from Acushnet Avenue to Ashley Boulevard and is used for sports and recreational activities for New Bedford residents to enjoy.

In 2012, a state of the art splash pad was installed to provide an extensive aquatic play area. Additional renovation to the park has included the restoration of four tennis courts and new exhibits to expand the skateboard park. A key component of the project included a revised parking plan to centralize parking and create additional green space for passive recreation. The installation of a new drainage system by the Department of Public Infrastructure has alleviated many of the previous flooding issues on the site. A total of $550,000 in CDBG funding has assisted with the Brooklawn Park redevelopment. The Citys CDBG funding has also spurred private investment by the baseball and softball leagues that have resulted in the installation of two new ball fields as well as a new building to house a scoring booth, concession stand and restrooms. Cliftex South A $25 million dollar project under construction, the NBEDC was instrumental in the purchase of the Cliftex Mill South for redevelopment. The historic mill, located in the Upper Harbor Development District, will be converted into an affordable assisted living facility for low and moderate-income residents. Cliftex North A $18 million historic preservation project, Acorn Management also began construction to convert the Cliftex North Mill into 126 units of market rate housing with breathtaking riverfront views their third project in New Bedford. South Terminal Project - In the 19th Century, New Bedford whalers sailed out from our bustling harborthe wealthiest and most productive in the nation upon the strong winds of the Atlantic coast. Today these winds are an abundant and inexhaustible resource driving the justification for the creation of the offshore wind sector in America. New Bedford will be the epicenter of this new sector, and in the decades to come, offshore wind can supply enough power to supply electricity to more than 1 million homes. In 2010 Governor Patrick announced that New Bedford would be the location of the Marine Commerce Terminalthe first such terminal in the nationa State investment of up to $100 million, managed by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, that will be able to deploy Cape Wind and a generation of offshore wind projects in Federal waters south of Marthas Vineyard. On May 6, 2013, the groundbreaking ceremony took place of the historic New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal, a first-in-the-nation facility to support the construction, assembly and deployment of offshore wind projects.
