The History of Fairhaven

Fairhaven was founded in 1812 by a group of Quaker families from Rhode Island. The town was originally known as "Westport Point," but was renamed Fairhaven in 1830. Fairhaven quickly became a thriving shipbuilding center, and by the mid-1800s, it was one of the leading whaling ports in the United States.

The whaling industry declined in the late 1800s, but Fairhaven continued to prosper as a fishing and manufacturing center. In the early 1900s, the town became a popular summer resort destination, and many wealthy families from Boston and New York built summer homes in Fairhaven.

Today, Fairhaven is a vibrant community with a rich history and culture. The town is home to a number of historic buildings, including the Millicent Library, the Fairhaven Town Hall, and the Fairhaven Whaling Museum. Fairhaven is also home to a number of shops, restaurants, and galleries.
