Mashpee has been the home of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe for approximately 12,000 years. After English settlers arrived in the area in the mid-1600s, the tribe was restricted to reservation land until 1868. Mashpee was incorporated as a town in 1870, and it remains the headquarters of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, which was finally granted federal tribal recognition in 2007. The town is home to the Mashpee Wampanoag Museum, which has exhibits on the history and culture of the tribe. The tribe also typically holds an annual “People of the First Light” Powwow where members celebrate with traditional crafts, dancing, and other activities. The community of New Seabury was started in the 1960s as a group of wooded residential villages, and now has over 1,400 luxury housing units, both single-family and townhome style, and a world-class private golf and country club. Other real estate choices in Mashpee include magnificent waterfront homes, lakeside cottages, and suburban ranch houses. Mashpee Commons, an expansive and award-winning open- air shopping center with dozens of upscale shops and restaurants, is located near the Mashpee rotary. Both freshwater and saltwater fishing enthusiasts will enjoy Mashpee’s waterways. Mashpee-Wakeby Pond is stocked annually in the spring and fall with brook, brown, and rainbow trout. Fishing in the ponds can also net chain pickerel, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, white catfish, and sunfish. On the Nantucket Sound shore at South Cape Beach and the Popponesset inlet, bluefish, striped bass, and sea bass are popular species.
