Anniversary Flowers Sent to Duxbury, MA

Duxbury is a town located in the seaside part of Plymouth County, Massachusetts, and it has a population of more than 16,000 residents. Europeans were the first settlers in the town; Wampanoags called the place Mattakeesett, meaning a place of many fish. The English settlers who were referred to as pilgrims created a colony in Plymouth. In accordance with the terms of their contract with the financiers of their operation, they were required to live together as a community for seven years. The land was given to the settlers for farming and the coastline from Plymouth to Marshfield was shared by the settlers. The first settlers in the town were farmers who came to work on the farm when the climate was warm and returned back to Plymouth in winter, but after some years, they began to build permanent homes in the area, after which they requested permission from the colony to build a church in the area.

The influential individuals in the town started to receive grants in the new town and became the town's first leaders. The military leader of the town was Captain Myles Standish, who lived in Nook, while Elder William Brewster was the religious leader of the city, and John Alder was also another important settler in the early community. His house is a museum on Alden street. A lot of important meetings were held in his house in Duxbury. The unspoiled bay became a tourist attraction in the 1870s. The town started to gain popularity as a summer resort after the completion of the Duxbury and Cohasset's railroad. The volume of tourists that visited the town increased astronomically.
