History

One of the few bi-coastal towns on the Cape, Dennis was incorporated in 1793. The town is named for the area’s first appointed minister, Rev. Josiah Dennis. In 1816 town resident Henry Hall found that sand which had blown onto his cranberry vines made for a sturdier and larger fruit. It was this discovery that was the catalyst for cranberry farming to become a big business on Cape Cod.
