Bourne History

Settled as part of Sandwich, MA in 1640, what became modern-day Bourne split off in the 19th century and by 1884 was officially incorporated as the last town in Barnstable County. The town was named for the Bourne family—Richard Bourne served in the Massachusetts General Court and also helped found Mashpee. Today, the town boasts a population of just under 20,000.

What Bourne is Known for…

Bourne lays claim to the first store ever operated in the United States, Aptucxet Trading Post, which was established by the pilgrims in 1627 halfway between the two rivers that divide Cape Cod from the rest of Massachusetts. Bourne is also considered the first town on Cape Cod, since it lies at the origin point of the Cape Cod Canal and the three canal bridges—the Bourne, Sagamore, and Cape Cod Railroad Bridge—are all within town limits.
