The town of Westport has long been tied to the sea. Its abundant rivers provided waterpower for cotton and iron manufacturing, and its protected harbor served as a base for the whaling and fishing industry. Since it was first settled in the 1670s, generations of farmers have worked Westport's soil, and agriculture remains an important part of this coastal community. Water continues to define this community, there is still an active commercial fishing fleet, waterfront cottages fill with summer residents, and day-trippers flock to the long sandy crescent of Horseneck Beach. Westport's beauty is not simply in its past but exists today in the well-preserved 18th- and 19th-century homes, the pristine landscape, and the rich community life of its villages.

Westport, Massachusetts (Images of America Series)
This is an important series and the Framingham volume is a particularly good example...because it has an actual plot. In this case, a tragic plot. The story of an American community so confident in its own progress that it gleefully pursues an almost unthinkable destruction of the natural environment. The history of a town that really did pave paradise and put up a parking lot.
