History

Finally, the town was officially incorporated in 1860. The Acushnet Company owns the Titleist brand name, under which golf balls, golf clubs, and other golf paraphernalia are marketed. It was formerly the northeastern section of the town of Dartmouth, Massachusetts which included the towns of Westport, Massachusetts New Bedford, Massachusetts Bedford, and Fairhaven, Massachusetts In 1787, New Bedford separated from Dartmouth, and included the lands of Fairhaven and Acushnet. In 1910, the 'Acushnet Process Company' (now the Acushnet Company), was founded in the town, and continues to be one of Southeastern Massachusetts's most enduring industries. The name "Acushnet," which is also the name of the Acushnet River the town lies on, comes from the Wampanoag "Cushnea," meaning "peaceful resting place near water," originally designating the fact that the tribe which sold the land to the Puritans inhabited the lands leading up to the river.
