Bristol County, Massachusetts

Southeastern Massachusetts is home to Bristol County. It borders Rhode Island to the west and Cape Cod Bay to the far east.
Bristol County has seen its fair share of change over the centuries. From whaling towns to textile mills, the region’s economy has evolved with the times. Today, it’s a mix of urban and rural landscapes.
Fall River and New Bedford offer a taste of city life. Smaller towns like Freetown and Rehoboth provide a quieter pace. The county’s coastline is a major draw for everyone who comes here.
