Did you know?

The Nantucket Atheneum, incorporated in 1834, and was opened as a free library in 1900.

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

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.

Maria Mitchell was the first American woman astronomer and born in Nantucket in 1818. The Maria Mitchell House is now a museum.

Nantucket Cottage Hospital is named because when it was started in 1911, it was housed in three cottages on West Chester Street.

Brant Point Lighthouse was built in 1746, Great Point in 1769, and Sankaty Head in 1850.

The Inquirer and Mirror, began as “The Inquirer” in June 1821 at the height of the island’s prominence in the global whaling industry. “The Mirror” acquired it in 1865, hence the name.

Nantucket encompasses a total of 47.8 square miles. 50% of the island is protected by The Nantucket Conservation Foundation and The Sconset Trust.

The Nantucket Railroad line was built in 1881. The line closed in 1917. The track and rolling stock were sent to France as part of the Allied forces of the First World War.

The SS Andrea Doria wrecked offshore in 1956 and is documented at the Nantucket Shipwreck and Lifesaving Museum along with other historic information and exhibits about lighthouses and storms.

Nantucket’s summer population is about five times greater than its year-round population.

Herman Melville was inspired to write Moby Dick after visiting Nantucket on the Essex in the 1840s and speaking with his first mate Owen Chase.

1918 was the first year that cars were allowed on the island after an historic car ban was repealed. Now, the car ferries sell out nine months in advance!
