With a robust fishing and agricultural history, the town of Chatham has morphed into one of the most pleasing destinations on the Cape for visitors and homeowners. Chatham was settled by the English in 1664 and incorporated in 1712. In addition to fishing and farming, Chatham locals labored at building ships and making salt, before the town eventually became a sought-after vacation destination. Popular for retirement and second-home ownership, Chatham retains a charming vibrancy,
especially at its historic fish pier, where an active, small boat fleet brings in their catch under the curious observation of dozens of visitors each day. The Main Street shopping district is busy throughout the year, with many fine restaurants, clothing boutiques, bookstores, candy and ice cream shops, a renovated cinema, and several historic churches. The downtown area has many tree-lined residential streets that lead off of Main Street, making those neighborhoods conveniently walkable.
