Truro (Massachusetts, USA)

    0.04 sec.

Truro

Town in southeastern Massachusetts, in Barnstable County near the northern tip of Cape Cod, adjacent to Provincetown; population (1990 est) 1,600. Formerly a port and a fishing centre, it is now a summer resort and artists' colony; the US artist Edward Hopper lived and painted here in the 1930s. It was incorporated in 1709.

English Pilgrims from the Mayflower discovered a spring, named Pilgrim Spring, at the site in 1620. Truro's harbour is on Cape Cod Bay; its east coast is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore District. Cape Cod Light, the cape's oldest lighthouse, was built in 1797; it was replaced in 1857.
