| Residents affirm that the Town of Rockport is a visitors' mecca located at
the tip of Cape Ann. The town is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on three
sides with the City of Gloucester on the fourth side and is about 40 miles
from Boston. The major industry is tourism and Rockport supports an
active Chamber of Commerce. The population is 7000 year round, but during
the summer months that can escalate to as high as 20,000.
Rockport has a five-member board of selectmen which meets weekly, a
full-time police department and a volunteer fire department. The
Department of Public Works is headed by a director and the town continues
to work on improving its water supply. Rockport also maintains its own
sewage treatment plant.
The Rockport Art Association is very active and there are a number of fine
artists' studios and galleries about town. Bearskin Neck draws thousands of
visitors to the many and varied shops. There are many hotels, motels, inns
and restaurants, and visitors soon learn that Rockport is a dry town.
Other attractions include the sandy and rocky beaches, the Paper House, the
Old Castle, the Historical Society Museum and the Babson Museum.
Recreation is promoted by Halibut Point State Park, Millbrook Meadow and
various playing fields used by school as well as community leagues. A
nationally known point of interest is Motif #1, a picturesque building on
Bradley Wharf at the entrance to Rockport's main harbor which for decades
has been painted, sketched and photographed by generations of artists.
Rockport has two other harbors where pleasure boats and fishing vessels
moore.
The town has one school complex which includes K-12, and eight churches,
and is renovating a former school building as a new library. |
