A brief History

Nantucket Island was discovered by Bartholomew Gosnold in 1602, at which time the Indian population was about 1,500. The island was purchased by Thomas Mahew in 1641, but was not settled until 1659 when Thomas Mayhew sold his interest to a group of investors: Tristram Coffin, Peter

Coffin, Thomas Macy, Christopher Hussey, Richard Swain, Thomas Barnard, Stephen Greenleaf, John Swain and William Pike. These men are considered the founding fathers of Nantucket, and many islanders are related to these families.

The island suffered great economic hardships, worsened by the “Great Fire” of July 13, 1846, that, fueled by whale oil and lumber, devastated the main town, burning some 40 acres The fire left hundreds homeless and poverty-stricken, and many people left the island. By 1850, whaling was in decline.

As a result of this depopulation, the island was left under-developed and isolated until the mid-20th century. The isolation kept many of the pre-Civil War buildings intact and, by the 1950s, enterprising developers like Walter Beinecke began buying up large sections of the island and restoring them to create an upmarket destination for wealthy people. While he might be remembered as a developer, he was a preservationist at the core. Beinecke eventually sold his properties to the First Winthrop Corporation of Boston.
