The town of
Mattapoisett is a small residential community on
the shores of Buzzards Bay. Like it's neighbor Marion, Mattapoisett is
small in size but has extensive coastline, and was originally part of
the town of Rochester until incorporating as a town in the 1850s.
The mainstay of Mattapoisett's economy during the late 19th and early
20th century was its summer residents. As in Marion, there was an
influx of relatively well-to-do summer residents who built summer homes
in the town, typically large homes with substantial grounds. Despite suburban development in the 1900s, these gracious summer homes remain part of Mattapoisett, and the principle
industry is still the summer resident.
Mattapoisett is bordered on the west by Fairhaven and Acushnet, on the north by Rochester, and on the northeast by Marion.
Mattapoisett is part of the Old Rochester Regional School District,
which it shares with neighboring towns Rochester and Marion.
