Martha's Vineyard (Wampanoag: Noepe, /mɑːr.ðəz.viːnjʊd/, often called just the Vineyard) is an island located south of Cape Cod in Massachusetts that is known for being an affluent summer colony. It includes the smaller Chappaquiddick Island which is usually connected to the Vineyard, though storms and hurricanes have been known to separate the two. The last such separation of the islands was in 2007 and the two islands are again connected as of April 2, 2015.
It is the 58th largest island in the United States, with a land area of 100 square miles (260 km2), and the third largest on the East Coast of the United States, after Long Island and Mount Desert Island. The island constitutes the bulk of Dukes County, Massachusetts, which also includes the Elizabeth Islands and the island of Nomans Land.
The Vineyard was home to one of the earliest known deaf communities in the United States; consequently, a special sign language developed on the island called Martha's Vineyard Sign Language (MVSL).
The 2010 census reported a year-round population of 16,535 residents, although the summer population can swell to more than 100,000 people. About 56% of the Vineyard's 14,621 homes are seasonally occupied.
Martha's Vineyard is primarily known as a summer colony, and it is only accessible by boat and air. However, its year-round population has considerably increased since the 1960s. The island's year-round population increased about a third each decade from 1970 to 2000, for a total of 145% or about 3 to 4% per year (46%, 30%, and 29% in each respective decade). The population of the Vineyard was 14,901 in the 2000 Census and was estimated at 15,582 in 2004. (Dukes County was 14,987 in 2000 and 15,669 in 2004). Dukes County includes the six towns on Martha's Vineyard and Gosnold; it increased by more than 10 percent between 2000 and 2010, according to Census data released in 2011, gaining nearly 1,548 residents. The Island's population increased from 14,987 to 16,535.
A study by the Martha's Vineyard Commission found that the cost of living on the island is 60% higher than the national average, and housing prices are 96% higher.[7] A study of housing needs by the Commission found that the average weekly wage on Martha's Vineyard was 71% of the state average, the median home price was 54% above the state's and the median rent exceeded the state's by 17%.

Cape Cod, MA.
Falmouth (pronunciation: /ˈfælmᵻθ/ FAL-mith) is a town in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States; Barnstable County is coextensive with Cape Cod. The population was 31,532 at the 2010 census, making Falmouth the second-largest municipality on Cape Cod after Barnstable. The terminal for the Steamship Authority ferries to Martha's Vineyard is located in the village of Woods Hole in Falmouth. Woods Hole also contains several scientific organizations such as the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), the Woods Hole Research Center, the Woods Hole Science Aquarium, and the scientific institutions' various museums.
For geographic and demographic information on specific parts of the town of Falmouth, please see the articles on East Falmouth, Falmouth Village, North Falmouth, Teaticket, West Falmouth, and Woods Hole. Falmouth also encompasses the villages of Hatchville and Waquoit, which are not census-designated places and fall within the village of East Falmouth based on postal service
Falmouth was first settled by English colonists in 1660 and was officially incorporated in 1686. Bartholomew Gosnold named the settlement for Falmouth, Cornwall, England, his home port. Early principal activities were farming, salt works, shipping, whaling, and sheep husbandry, which was very popular due to the introduction of Merino sheep and the beginnings of water-powered mills that could process the wool. In 1837, Falmouth averaged about 50 sheep per square mile.
Falmouth saw brief action in the War of 1812, when the area around Falmouth Heights, on its southern coast, was bombarded by several British frigates and ships of the line, and Massachusetts militia hastily entrenched themselves on the beaches to repulse a possible British landing which never came. By 1872, the train had come to Falmouth and Woods Hole, and some of the first summer homes were established. By the late 19th century, cranberries were being cultivated and strawberries were being raised for the Boston market. Large-scale dairying was tried in the early 20th century in interior regions. After the improvement in highways, and thanks in part to the heavy use of neighboring Otis Air National Guard Base during World War II, population growth increased significantly. Large homebuilding booms occurred in the 1970s, followed by others in the 1980s and 1990s.
In the late 1800s, after railroad service was established between Boston and Cape Cod, James Madison Beebe bought over 700 acres (280 ha) and built Highfield Hall, which is now a museum, and much of the land is preserved as Beebe Woods.
In 1965, Robert Manry sailed from Falmouth aboard his 13.5-foot (4.1 m) sailboat and reached Falmouth, England, 78 days later

MENEMSHA BLUES ~ MARTHA'S VINEYARD ~OUR STORY ~
MENEMSHA BLUES - MARTHA'S VINEYARD
MENEMSHA BLUES -VINEYARD HAVEN, MENEMSHA, OAK BLUFFS, EDGARTOWN STORE LOCATIONS ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD
Sophisticated, relaxed, comfortable clothing for Ladies, Men and Children.
That's the essence of Menemsha Blues! Menemsha is a unique and colorful seaside village on the island of Martha's Vineyard, off the coast of Cape Cod, USA. Fishing and seafaring have long been an integral part of this community, as well as the relaxed and playful attitude that seems to permeate this oceanside living. Menemsha derives from an ancient coastal native american word for still waters, and the blues represent the many hues of the sea and sky. These words quide the design, the colors, and the fabrics of the Menemsha Blues clothing line.
Menemsha Blues began in 1994 when company founder Bob Fuller chose the name and a line of apparel that combined a love of casual seaside living with the serenity of natural colors and textures. Menemsha Blues Clothing & Apparel are relaxed and comfortable with an easy style and peaceful point of view. There are four Menemsha Blues store locations, found in Menemsha Village at our original store; in Vineyard Haven on Water Street across the ferry landing, in Edgartown on corner of Dock and Kelley Street; and Oak Bluffs on Circuit Ave. We have recently opened a new store in Portsmouth on 1 Congress St in Market Square, NH
Martha's Vineyard is the second-largest island on the eastern seaboard US (Long Island, NY, is larger) with a rough expanse of 26 x 14 miles, with hundreds of miles of beautiful coastal beaches, coves, and harbors. It is located in the state of Massachusetts, about 7-8 miles to the closest point on the mainland. It is bounded to the west by the Elizabeth Islands (a chain of small islands) and Buzzards Bay, to the north by Cape Cod and up to Boston (65 miles), to the east by Nantucket (14 miles) and the Atlantic to Europe, and to the south by open Atlantic Ocean for a very long way (Bermuda, Puerto Rico). It is reachable by boat or aircraft (swimming is an option, but not advised!) Ferries run to 'the Vineyard' from Quonset Point, CT, New Bedford, Woods Hole, Falmouth, Hyannis, and Nantucket, MA. Vineyarders refer to their island as the Rock, and the mainland as across the pond in America.
There are six towns on the island: Aquinnah, Chilmark, West Tisbury, Tisbury (more commonly known as Vineyard Haven), Edgartown, and Oak Bluffs, each with their own town government. There's an island-wide elected commission which attempts to help us all get along, which in general they do -- depending on whom you are speaking with (politics is also a particular interest, of course). Estimated population is around 20,000 in winter and swells to 200,000 on July 4th (with day-trippers, depending on the weather forecast a week ahead, no kidding.) About the only activity you cannot find on the island is bowling, for some reason. Major harbors are located in VH, E'town, and OB. Smaller harbors include Tashmoo and our own Menemsha (actually a part of Chilmark) and they are all sweet and spectacular at dawn or sunset.
All we can say is this: every day on this island is a beach day -- even on the snow days: have you thought of Nordic skiing on a 20 mile long ocean beach? It's an experience worth trying! Well, a Nor'Easter ain't a good day for the beach, but even then, the view is awe inspiring. There is a wealth of information on the island, accommodations, travel, history, people, places and events of interest on the web. MVOL.com is a fine place to start.
