Nantucket is a 50-square mile island of incredible natural beauty and unspoiled historic charm, situated 30 miles out to sea south of Cape Cod. The charm of Nantucket is embodied in its well-preserved architecture and its protected moors, plains and beaches. For more than 150 years Nantucket served as the center of the world's whaling industry. In recognition of this heritage, the U.S. Department of the Interior designated the town a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
The Nantucket economy is based upon tourism and second-home development. Connected to Hyannis by two ferry services and several airlines, the island summer population peaks at approximately 40,000 in August. Residents and visitors alike enjoy Nantucket's many bike paths and beaches, as well as seasonal events including the Daffodil Weekend, Harborfest and the Cranberry Festival.
Nantucket's special environment is well-cared for by the efforts of several environmental and planning organizations, including the Nantucket Planning and Economic Development Commission, Nantucket Conservation Foundation (owner of 8200 acres of island open space) and the Nantucket Land Council. The Nantucket Land Bank was founded in 1984 as the nation's first local land trust; utilizing funding from a local real estate transaction fee, the Land Bank has purchased over 1000 acres of open space to date.
Nantucket is situated about 16 miles south of the Cape Cod shore line in the Atlantic Ocean. It is the largest island in the group that forms the county, at its greatest extremes running about 15 miles from east to west and 10 miles from north to south.
