Island History - The Island of Martha's Vineyard is a jewel of many facets.
It is the largest and, thought to be, one of the most picturesque islands in New England.
The Vineyard is shaped like an irregular triangle, approximately twenty miles in length and nine and a half miles at its widest point.
Located just a few miles off the southeast coast of Massachusetts, the island is easily accessible by airplane or ferry.
It is comprised of six towns, three of which are referred to as "Up-Island" (Aquinnah, Chilmark & West Tisbury), and three of which are referred to as "Down-Island" (Edgartown, Oak Bluffs & Vineyard Haven, which is also known as Tisbury).

Aquinnah - Until recently, the Town of Aquinnah had been known as Gay Head.
The name Gay Head was thought to have been given because of the multi-colored clay cliffs at its head that spill into the Atlantic.
The name was changed back to its original Indian name of Aquinnah in 1998.
Many descendants of the original Wampanoag Indians still reside in Aquinnah.
The clay cliffs for which the town is known were created by glaciers during the Ice Age.
There have been many fossils found as the cliffs have eroded over the years, however, it is now illegal to remove clay or anything else from the cliffs for fear of causing permanent damage to this magnificent natural formation.

Chilmark - The up-island town of Chilmark is known for its rolling hills and magnificent views.
Ancient stone walls gracing the countryside are a common sight in this New England town.
Chilmark's coastline is very dramatic, ranging from the sloping sandy beaches of the south shore to the rocky coast of the north shore.
The town of Chilmark was named for Chilmark, England, the ancestral home of Thomas Mayhew's wife.
For centuries Chilmark consisted mainly of farmland and the tiny fishing village of Menemsha.

West Tisbury - West Tisbury is a quaint New England village with many historical points of interest.
It has large tracts of unspoiled land, much of it still used for farming.
The center of town still has the old country store (Alley's) as its centerpiece, along with the Congregational Church, the Old Mill Pond, the Grange Hall and the Town Hall.
West Tisbury was once a stopover on the long trail from one end of the island to the other by horseback or horse and buggy.
Today, West Tisbury is best known for its Farmer's Market and Agricultural Society Fair.
