The Town f Hull, Massachusetts is a small town in Plymouth County with a population of about 10,300. Located on a peninsula at the southern edge of Boston Harbor, the smallest town in Plymouth County and the fourth smallest in Massachusetts. Initially called Nantasket by the Massachuset tribe, it is a series of islands connected by sandbars forming a peninsula, the Plymouth Colony established a trading post there in 1621 to trade with the Wampanoags.

Hull itself was first settled in 1622 and incorporated in 1644. At that time, it was renamed for Kingston-upon-Hull, England. Fishing, trading and shipwreck salvaging were the earliest Hull industries. Starting in 1776, several were built on Hull’s Allerton Point and on Hog Island (now Spinnaker Island). The latter one was armed with 16-inch guns, the largest ever deployed by the United States. Credit resourse info town.hull.ma.us
