Brewster History

The town of Brewster was originally part of Harwich and settled in 1656. By the 1690s, however, wealthy merchants and sea-captains of Harwich’s north end decided to separate and form their own community which they named in honor of Elder William Brewster, first religious leader of the Pilgrims at Plymouth County. Today, Brewster has just fewer than 10,000 residents and is “twinned” with the English town of Budleigh Salterton.

What Brewster is Known for…

Much of Brewster’s history revolves around Stony Brook, the first water-powered grist and woolen mill in the United States, which remains in operation to this day. The town was also home to numerous mansions and stately homes—many are now bed-and-breakfast destinations for travelers in the Cape Cod area.
