TOWN OF KINGSTON

*** Hazardous Waste Day Sat. May 18th at the Highway Barn 9am- 1pm***  ****Memorial Day Parade 10 am Monday May 27th start at KES****       WELCOME to the official website for the Town of Kingston, Massachusetts. Kingston is a coastal community in Southeastern Massachusetts located about 35 miles south of Boston.   The Town was incorporated in 1726, though prior to 1726 Kingston was known as the North Precinct of Plymouth. The Town's early history, as a part of the Plymouth Colony settled by the Pilgrims, initiated an active historical community.     Today, Kingston is principally a residential community with a small number of professional fishermen and cranberry growers. A large proportion of the residents are commuters with many using the MBTA Old Colony Train for easy access to Boston and points north.    Residents enjoy Gray's Beach, the AhDeNah Landing on the Jones River, fishing and shell fishing, as well as hiking on numerous open space properties. Great schools, an active senior center, recreation center and public library round out our fantastic community. WELCOME!
