The Southcoast of Massachusetts offers so much to the traveler and resident alike. From the secluded beaches and preserved colonial architecture to the abundant cultural offer-ings, this often overlooked coastline of the Commonwealth is a treasure to discover and experience.

Fairhaven, originally the eastern part of the Dartmouth Purchase, seceded and incorpo-rated in 1812. It is a delightful coastal seaport village with an irregular and captivating coast-line. Sconticut Neck, Wilbur’s Point and West Island offer a view to the more recent past when during the 20th century warm weather cottages and cabins began to dot its shores and the warm waters of Buzzard’s Bay would entice bathers from June through September. The areas of East Fairhaven, Shaws Cove andLittle Bay offer yet another perspective for those who call Fairhaven home with mid-cen-tury and farmhouse style residences and spec-tacular vistas from the hills along the coastline. Although over the years Fairhaven has grown in size, it has maintained its small town char-acteristics. From the annual Homecoming Day fair to Revolutionary war re-encampments, history seems to repeat itself. Whether you

have found your home in Fairhaven, or are simply visiting, you undoubtedly recognize how special this town and community are.

The Center of Fairhaven features architectur-ally fascinating buildings of yesteryear. No-table examples are the French Gothic Town Hall, the Italian Renaissance Library and the Memorial Church, an impressive example of English Vertical Gothic. One cannot help but feel transported to another part of the World. These public buildings were given to the town by native son Henry Huttleston Rogers in the late 19th and early 20th century

Well-preserved Greek Revival homes are in-terspersed with Colonial, Northeast Cape Style and Bungalow residences. A balanced blend of young families, retirees and profes-sionals call the village home. The “Walking” village center offers a glimpse of its maritime past as well as its present, yet is not far from the modern conveniences that are part of twenty-first-century living. Big-box stores, service stations and grocers are all just a mile away, yet nicely grouped in the commercial district.

Fort Phoenix, perched atop granite ledge, served as a strategic site and provided defense during the first naval battle of the Revolution-ary war. In Summer and Autumn historic re-encampments play out as a method of teach-ing younger generations about Fairhaven’s history. Fort Phoenix Beach, a bathing pavil-ion, sandy beach and tennis and basketball

Fairhaven Center and Fort Phoenix

courts provide for athletic and leisure enjoy-ment. Much of the granite used in the con-struction of the public buildings in Fairhaven was quarried from nearby Fort Phoenix. H. H. Rogers favored the Fort Phoenix area him-self and it was the former site of his 88 room mansion which was unfortunately dismantled in the early 20th century. Some of the archi-tectural elements from this grand estate can still be found around town.

Poverty Point was originally known as Ox-ford Village and it was the earliest settlement in what was later to become Fairhaven in 1812. Because the only bridge access across the Achusnet to New Bedford was located on Howland or Coggeshall street, many set-tlers chose this part of town in which to build their homes. The first public school in town was located on North Street and is now af-fectionately referred to as the Stone School. This historic area of town was the center of maritime commerce into the 1800s when the construction of the Fairhaven/New Bedford bridge was completed and many of the busi-nesses and residents moved south to what is now called Fairhaven Center. This exodus of commerce and the wealth that went with it gave rise to the name “Poverty Point.”

By the mid 19th century, Oxford Village was predominantly residential and features excel-lent examples of Federal, Colonial-revival, Shingle and Cape Cod-style homes, many of which have been lovingly restored to their original glory. Poverty Point offers excellent access to the Interstate Highway system and route 6 as well as the bridges to New Bed-ford. Neighborhood identity, like other parts of Fairhaven is quite strong and is evidenced by the care its residents give to their homes in this historic part of town.

Poverty Point

Many notable people called this part of town home including Joseph Bates Jr. (founder of the Seventh day Adventist Church,) Joshua Slocum (Captain of the Spray, the vessel he used to become the first person to sail around the World alone), Manjiro Nakahama (the first Japanese person to live in America) and Charles Gifford (noted marine artist).

West IslandWest Island was named for Stephen West, the son-in-law of John Cooke. Notable as one of the earliest vacation communities in North America, the Wampanoag tribe used to spend their summers here, bringing their cattle over the tidal causeway to graze on the pastures. Today a paved road and a modern sturdy causeway transport traffic on to the island.

In the 1940s, West Island was laid out in a modern summer community called "Fairhav-en Estates." Today's West Island is a blend of summer cottages passed down through the generations and year-round homes from modest to grand. Beautiful beaches surround the island. On the south end of the island, Town Beach features beautiful stretches of sandy beach with views to the Bourne bridge and Falmouth. A WWII era submarine watch tower still stands there as a testament to Fairhaven's marine history, and has become an icon to West Island. The beach at the southern-most end of West Island has been considered by many to be among the most beautiful in all of coastal New England. A ma-rina and boat ramp are located just over the causeway on "Long Island." Two-thirds of the island is a state preserve, with hiking trails for exploration. West Island provides the feel-ing of being "away from it all" but is within minutes of modern shopping conveniences.

The Beach Communities

Wilbur's PointNamed for Horatio Nelson Wilbur, a descen-dant of the 17th century Wilbur family of Bos-ton, this waterfront community was originally the family farm. The Delano family cemetery can be found there on Sconticut Neck Road. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's moth-er's family were Fairhaven natives, and the family homestead today is a Bed and Break-fast in Fairhaven Town center.

Sconticut NeckMany beaches can be found along the neck off either side of the Sconticut Neck Road. During prohibition the neck was notorious for "rum runners", since the many pathways to the water provided an ideal location to sneak illegal liquor onto shore. Today you can lose yourself on one of the beaches. Many differ-ent neighborhoods are located on the neck, from new suburban style sub developments to established summer retreats.

North Fairhaven

North Fairhaven was one of the earliest set-tled areas of Fairhaven. Its most prominent landowner was John Cooke, an original May-flower passenger, who settled there about 1662. The site of Cooke’s homestead and his garrison are marked as historical spots. The area was primarily farmland until the 1890s when the Coggeshall Street Bridge opened al-lowing an easy commute between Fairhaven and the textile mills in New Bedford. The bridge brought about a population boom with French-Canadian and Portuguese fami-lies building homes, schools, churches and a small business district by 1925.

Today much of the property in North Fairhav-en is residential, with a few restaurants and other businesses scattered along Main Street. Livesey Park on Glenhaven Ave. offers recre-ational opportunities with its ball fields, play-ground, tennis courts and skateboard park. Dattco, the commuter bus line to Boston, is conveniently located on Sycamore Street. Mega bus also operates from the Dattco ter-minal with direct, affordable service to New York City. St. Mary’s Church serves the Ro-man Catholic population of North Fairhaven and the Church of the Good Shepherd (Epis-copal) is also located there.

North and East Fairhaven

East Fairhaven

Settled during the second half of the 1600s by members of the Delano and Jenney fami-lies, East Fairhaven maintained it rural farming atmosphere much longer than the rest of the town. The main roads in East Fairhaven once connected large farms. Beginning in the mid-twentieth century some of those farms were subdivided for residential housing. Stone walls and open fields are still quite plentiful in the area and a few family farms survive.

What is now part of US Route 6 running through East Fairhaven was originally “the Mattapoisett Road” and still later a well-traveled route for vacationers headed to Cape Cod. Some of the older commercial buildings along the road were first built to cater to those seasonal travelers. There is saltwater shoreline along the southern edge of East Fairhaven and some properties near Shaw’s Cove and Little Bay offer picturesque water views.The East Fairhaven School, opened in 2007, serves about half of the town’s elementary school children. The Mariner soccer fields and Shaw Road little league complex are both lo-cated in East Fairhaven.

Howe Allen

Howe Allen Realty began when a 4-year old Howe Allen, the firm’s owner and founder, tagged along with his mother. She was a real estate agent, and Howe accompanied her when she was conducting open houses and showing properties. Fast forward 20 years and Howe pursued a similar path to his moth-er’s and now has been involved in the real estate industry for over a quarter of a cen-tury. He is excited to be fulfilling a dream of owning a brokerage firm which specializes in delivering services that are above and beyond those of traditional real estate firms. Howe also pursued a corporate career for almost 20 years. This experience has proven to be very important and useful in running his own business. Prior to opening his own firm, he worked for Sotheby’s International Realty and was one of the top producing agents for that firm. Howe and his husband, Tim Evans are proud to live in the Fairhaven walking village with their two Jack Russell Terriers, Dutch and Cheer.
