Sandwich Town

The section headings the book prints inside this chapter. Each one jumps to where it begins.

• Sandwich Town

What the federal record holds for each settlement inside this town: wildfires and storm reports since the 1950s, mineral workings, and museum specimens collected nearby. These are counted within a few miles of each settlement, so neighbours share them and the columns are deliberately not added up. Every row links to the settlement's own page, where each figure is broken out.

Every populated place the Geographic Names Information System records inside this township's Census boundary. 0 of the 11 are named in the chapter; the rest were founded later or were never more than a post office.

Reproduced complete and unedited. The text is machine-read from a scan of the 1890 printing, so expect the errors a machine makes reading a century-old page: misspelled names, dropped words, stray characters. Nothing has been corrected, because correcting a proper name invents one. The headings below are the book's own.

Text from History of Barnstable County, Massachusetts, 1620-1637-1686-1890, by Deyo, Simeon L, published 1890 and in the public domain in the United States. Digitised by the Internet Archive. The settlements listed against this township are matched by point-in-polygon test of each Geographic Names Information System coordinate against the Census Bureau's county subdivision boundary, not by name.
