Westport may not be Boston, or Concord, or even New Bedford, but it has a rich history of whaling and fishing, agriculture, manufacturing, immigration, and tourism, as well as a few famous people. In some ways Westport mirrors the region, so studying our town helps us understand a much broader history. PR 20, 2020.
Is Westport MA a nice town?
Westport is a great place to raise a family. Best places to live are center and to the south of the Head Store (near the mouth of the Westport River). The West Branch of the Westport River is mostly summer residences, kinda isolated, with private beaches and not much nearby in the way of convenience.
