This delightful and nostalgic pictorial history tells the story of Hull, Massachusetts, as it evolved from a quiet, remote seafaring village into a thriving community and resort. Home of world-famous Nantasket Beach, this 7-mile peninsula is rich with a history that includes maritime traditions, technological advances, and celebrated personalities. Through these fascinating images collected by the Committee for the Preservation of Hull's History, we learn about the unique heritage of this flourishing summer resort town. Visitors view Hull as a wonderful vacation paradise, but it is also a progressive community of firsts. North America's first lighthouse and the first U.S. electric railroad were both built in Hull. The area is also the site of the famous amusement park, Paragon Park, which was opened in 1905 and was considered comparable to the World's Fair. Through the 1950s, steamboats, trains, and famous hotels brought millions of visitors to Hull, making it one of the area's premier tourist destinations. During the later part of the 20th century, Hull has been ardently re-establishing its links to the past while growing and prospering, as more people discover this jewel of the region as a place to visit or reside. In Hull and Nantasket Beach, the authors invite you to join them on an exciting journey through an area rich with historic hotels and beaches, maritime and military history, technological advances, famous visitors, and proud residents.

- It's funny as I've read your page list and noticed that a lot of MA cities have the same name than those in England. This would make me see Massachusetts less strange than it should be to the European that I am :)

- I came across your lens on lensroll.com and it caught my eye because I live in the Uk where there is also a place called Hull. The British Hull is probably the worst city I have ever been too, really really horrible. But your Hull looks lovely and interesting too! This is a very nice lens, you present information in a great clear way.

- I believe Hull, MA was named after Hull, England, but the Hull in Massachusetts is a pretty nice town. We have some cities like that in the northeast, but not Hull!
