Tisbury, Administrative division in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, US
Tisbury is an administrative division on Martha's Vineyard that spreads across different neighborhoods and commercial zones. The town centers around Vineyard Haven, which serves as the island's main harbor and business hub.
Tisbury was founded in 1671 and grew from a maritime economy based on fishing and shipbuilding. Over time, it became the commercial and transportation center of Martha's Vineyard.
The Old Whaling Church stands as an architectural remnant of Tisbury's maritime heritage, alongside numerous 18th-century structures throughout the town.
Vineyard Haven connects to mainland Massachusetts with regular ferry service throughout the year. Most visitors arrive at this harbor and use it as their main access point to explore the island.
Multiple town committees actively manage local services while implementing the Tisbury Master Plan to guide development across residential and commercial zones.
