The town contains several villages (one of which is also named Barnstable) within its boundaries.

Additionally, Barnstable is a 2007 winner of the All-America City Award.HistoryBarnstable takes its name from Barnstaple, Devon, England. The area was first explored by Bartholomew Gosnold in 1602. It was one of the first towns to be settled in Plymouth Colony, one year behind Sandwich, in 1638, and was incorporated in 1639. The early settlers were farmers, led by the Reverend Joseph Hull, the founder of Barnstable. A memorial tablet was dedicated there in 1939 (the 300th anniversary of the town's founding) marking the site of his home, and the rock from which he preached still stands along the highway there.Add Barnstable and other destinations in United States to your travel itinerary using our United States online trip itinerary builder.
