Scituate is a small seacoast town on Cape Cod Bay midway between Boston and Plymouth. Scituate was settled by a group of people from Plymouth about 1627, who were joined by immigrants from the County of Kent in England. The name Scituate is derived from "satuit," the Wampanoag term for cold brook. It refers to a brook that runs to the inner harbor of Scituate. Fishing and sea mossing were early industries. A small fishing fleet is still resident in Scituate Harbor. Scituate is home to two lighthouses; Old Scituate Light at the mouth of Scituate Harbor and Minot's Ledge Light located approximately one mile off Scituate Neck.
