Barnstable

Barnstable has served as the county seat of Barnstable County on Cape Cod since the county was created in 1685. Set on Cape Cod’s northern shore beside Cape Cod Bay, the village is part of the larger Town of Barnstable, whose seven villages extend from the bay to Nantucket Sound. Barnstable Harbor and its tidal marshes maintain the area’s close connection with the water. On Main Street, Sturgis Library, founded in 1867, occupies a building dating from 1644.
