WE SERVE YOU AT YOUR DUXBURY PROPERTY
As named by the native Wampanoags of the Algonquin group, Duxbury was originally Mattakeesett, which means “place of many fish.” This excellent seaside town was a significant hub for fishing and farming, which is what attracted English settlers to the area.
For many years, early settlers only traveled to Duxbury during the warmer months to tend to their farming. However, it wasn’t long until they began building houses and moved their families to the growing village.
Today, the historic seaside town is home to around 15,000 people and attracts summer tourists every year, contributing to the town’s local economy. There remains plenty of lands dedicated to beaches and mansion-like residencies scattered along the coast, making Duxbury one of the wealthiest and most serene towns of Massachusetts Bay.
Duxbury is also home to Saquish Neck, a hook-shaped strip of land that closes in on the coast of the town. This makes for great fishing for oysters and shellfish. The remote town is also home to several sanctuaries dedicated to wildlife conservation. However, this means that it’s not uncommon for unwanted pests like termites, mosquitos, ticks, and rodents to make their way around locals’ homes.
