Weymouth

Among the communities of Massachusetts, Weymouth stands out for its position between the Weymouth Fore River, the Back River and Hingham Bay on Boston’s South Shore. Established in 1622 as Wessagusset, it ranks among the state’s earliest English settlements; its present name was adopted after the colony was reorganized in 1635. The town’s waterfront has long connected local life to the harbor economy, while Great Esker Park follows a glacial landform left by the Ice Age. Weymouth is also the birthplace of Abigail Adams, whose life links the town to the family of presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams.
