The History of Cohasset, MA
Native Americans settled in this town more than 8,000 years ago; the first Europeans to live here were from Hingham and Wydham, England. While first a part of Hingham, it became the town of Cohasset in 1770. With a rich maritime industry, wealthy Bostonians formed their own summer colony, with large estates that are still here today. You’ll still find historic buildings like the Cushing–Nichols House and the First Parish Meeting House.
