History

Weston began building small vessels in 1764 and soon became famous for his successful merchant fleet. Lloyd’s of London recognized Weston as the owner of the largest fleet in America, and this judgement was confirmed by Daniel Webster in a speech in 1841. Captain Myles Standish, the military leader of the colony, lived in “the Nook,” an area now known as Standish Shore. It was not long, however, before they began to build homes on their land, and soon requested permission from the colony to be set off as a separate community with their own church. The population was 14,248 at the 2000 census.

The area now known as Duxbury was inhabited by people as early as 12,000 to 9,000 B.C.
