About the town of…
Founded in 1622, and incorporated in 1647, the first settlement in Hull was a trading post erected by refugees who were expelled from Plymouth Colony for sedition and alleged profanation of the church. Not surprisingly, fishing was the predominant early industry before the community's long coastline and beautiful natural beaches led to its development as a popular resort area just 18 miles from Boston by car, and only 5 miles by boat. Today’s Hull is a prized residential town a bedroom community with an ocean view. The three principle “hills” Allerton, Strawberry, and Hull, typify Hull’s homestyle variety, which ranges from expensive single family homes and gracious colonials, to cottages and condominiums. Schools, government, town services and land recreation facilities are all very good. Residents have a multitude of civic and social organization to choose from as well as a host of entertainment and dining facilities. But it is the surrounding sea - the scent of it, the sight of it, the fun of it - that makes Hull so unique.
