Truro Real Estate

The land of Truro had been home to the Wampanoag tribe of Kakopee who thrived for thousands of years by fishing and farming the land. In 1620 the first English settlers arrived on the Mayflower landing first in Provincetown then Truro and it was a cache of corn and water  placed there by the Indians for their own winter  survival that helped the pilgrims to survive their first winter in the new world. Truro is named after Truro in Cornwall, England.Truro possesses beautiful beaches on Cape Cod Bay and some of the most magnificent beaches on the Atlantic Ocean. It has long been a source of inspiration to artists and beachcombers alike. Truro's beaches, dunes and landscape of rolling hills are an attraction to tourists and vacationers. Home to a diverse year-round population, Truro's permanent population includes fishermen, tradesmen and an ever-growing number of retirees.

The town is home of the famous Cape Cod Light, Cape Cod's oldest lighthouse, which was first erected in 1797 and replaced by the current structure in 1857. The national landmark is in danger of falling into the ocean due to erosion, unless the town and area citizens receive support and cooperation from the federal and state governments. With over half of its land area within the Cape Cod National Seashore District, the residents of Truro are dedicated to preserving the special character of this seashore community.
