About Wareham
Wareham, situated at the head of Buzzards Bay, offers an exceptional location within easy travelling distance to the Boston and Providence metropolitan areas. Boston is about one hour away and Providence is about 45 minutes away. All of the tourist amenities of the Cape Cod area are available in Wareham.

The town has over 54 miles of coastline enhanced by beaches, estuaries, rivers and ponds that create a subtle contrast to a vibrant, growing community.

The town's quality of life offers an excellent home for industry but particularly a home for people. From its early beginnings of farming and ship building in the 1700s, Wareham has evolved a diversified industrial and commercial economy with ample human and natural resources to support continued growth.

With a 2005 population of just under 22,000, the town offers a distinctive social and economic mix from stately tech industry to traditional boat building.
