Miles from the first American landing in Plymouth, Marshfield has a rich history that involves roles with the native tribes, Pilgrim settlements, the American Revolution, and even the town’s version of the famous Boston Tea Party.

Throughout its early years, Marshfield was noted as a Pilgrim town that was heavily associated with the Wampanoag tribe of the Algonquin nation. It was founded in 1632 by Mayflower Pilgrim Edward Winslow, who later became the Plymouth Colony governor. Up until the end of the American Revolutionary War, many Marshfield residents were still loyal to the British Crown.

Today, Marshfield is a blossoming town with nearly 25,000 residents made up of several census-designated places, like Marshfield Hills, Ocean Bluff-Brant Rock, and the Green Harbor. Because of its location on the shore that is home to many salt marshes, Marshfield is a coastal town with plenty of beaches, docks, boating, and swimming areas. Several forests and rivers in the town provide a home for a variety of native wildlife.

However, this also means that Marshfield residents will experience an influx in unwanted pests like mosquitos, ticks, rodents, termites, and many more, year-round.
