TOWN OF WAREHAM
In Wareham it's all about the water. The town has 57 miles of coastline and two protected harbors, Onset and Wareham Harbors. Wareham, known as the "Gateway to Cape Cod," offers Cape Cod style living without the hassles of the bridge traffic.
The town of Wareham is situated near the southwest entrance to the Cape Cod Canal on the mainland side. Wareham waterfront homes are available from $300,000 up to $4 million. The town's natural beauty is enhanced by beaches, estuaries, rivers and ponds as well as nature trails. From Buttermilk Bay on the town's east border to the Weweantic River on its west, Wareham is defined by its waterways.
The Town of Wareham is rich in history dating back to Colonial times. One of the earliest industries was making nails out of the plentiful bog iron, and the Tremont Nail Factory, one of the earliest businesses, continues in business to this day. Farming, saltmaking, ship building, and cranberry farming were industries in the 1700s and 1800s, and in more recent times Wareham has become home to a diversified industrial and commercial economy. Today thriving business districts can be found along Cranberry Highway, the town Main Street, and other parts of town.

A popular village of Wareham, Onset is well-known for its beautiful Onset Beach, its waterfront Victorian estates, and for its summer concert series, other family activities and the fun, festive atmosphere of its village center. The Wareham Gatemen are the town's representative in the Cape Cod Baseball League, known as the best summer league in the nation where many of today's major leaguers played college ball.
Wareham is bordered on the west by Marion and Rochester, on the north by Carver and Plymouth, and on the east by Plymouth and Bourne.
