Yarmouth MA Real Estate and Town Profile
|
|
Yarmouth, incorporated in 1639, is located in the mid-Cape area, about 65
miles southwest of Provincetown and 23 miles east of the Cape Cod Canal.
It is one of those Cape towns that extend from Cape Cod Bay on the north
across the peninsula south to Nantucket Sound. The most striking physical
features of the town are the result of glaciation; the low round hills on
the north side of town were created by the leading edge of the glacier as
it pushed the land before it. The flat sandy terrain of the southern part
of town is the apron of material that was washed out from the glacial ice.
Yarmouth is a member of the Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School District and
has five public schools located in the town. At a college level, the Cape
Cod Community College offers enrollment in its full-time two year programs
as well as in its continuing education program. There are three libraries
within the town.
Keeping pace with the growth on Cape Cod is the growth of professional and
community music, art, dance and theater groups, some of them located in
Yarmouth. The community enjoys a variety of recreational programs as well
as the town's fifteen public saltwater beaches, five freshwater beaches
and two municipal golf courses.
Yarmouth also offers tours of their many historical structures and sites. For more information please contact the Yarmouth Historical Commission at (508) 398-2231 ext. 292.
