Mashpee, New England town in Barnstable County, Massachusetts
Mashpee extends over 27.2 square miles, with 23.4 square miles of land and 3.8 square miles of water bodies throughout Cape Cod.
The British Crown designated Mashpee as a plantation in 1763, leading to the integration of the territory into the colonial district against Wampanoag wishes.
The Old Indian Meeting House, constructed in 1684, stands as the earliest Native American church structure in the United States.
The town operates multiple public services through regular meetings of various committees, including the School Committee, Board of Health, and Planning Board.
The name originates from mass-nippe in Native American language, where mass means great and nippe means water, referring to the greater cove.
