Kingston occupies low-lying ground along the Jones River in southeastern Massachusetts. The river flows into Kingston Bay, sheltered from the Atlantic by the Duxbury Beach barrier, placing the town between Plymouth County’s inland ponds and the coast. Incorporated in 1726 from parts of Plymouth, Duxbury and Pembroke, Kingston reflects the colonial settlement pattern of Massachusetts’s South Shore. Its rail station on the MBTA commuter network provides a direct connection with Boston, while nearby Plymouth adds another layer of early New England history.
