Video of the Town of Kingston, MA

Kingston is a coastal community in Southeastern Massachusetts located about 35 miles south of Boston. The Town was incorporated in 1726, though prior to 1726 Kingston was known as the North Precinct of Plymouth. Today, Kingston is principally a residential community with a small number of professional fishermen and cranberry growers. A large proportion of the residents are commuters, many using the extended MBTA line for easy access to points north. The Town's early history, as a part of the Plymouth Colony settled by the Pilgrims, initiated an active historical community.
