Dogs are wonderful companions that bring joy and happiness to our lives.  However, they also require a lot of care and attention, including regular exercise, feeding, grooming, and cleaning up after them.  While most dog owners are happy to do these tasks, there is one particular job that most people dread – picking up their dog’s poop.

 

Not only is dog poop an eyesore, but it also poses a health risk to both humans and other animals.  Dog waste can contain harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause serious illnesses such as       E. coli, salmonella, and giardia.  In addition, it can attract flies, rodents, and other pests that can spread disease and cause further damage to your yard.

About Westport

 

Westport is a town in Bristol County, Massachusetts.  The population was 16,339 at the 2020 census.

The village of North Westport lies in the town.  Other named areas of the town are "Westport Point," which has a dock on the Westport River where Main Road meets the river; "Central Village" with town offices, retail stores and businesses; "Head of Westport" at the head of the east branch of the river; and the area referred to either as "Acoaxet" or "Westport Harbor," which is between the west branch of the river and Rhode Island. This area is cut off from the rest of Massachusetts by water and Rhode Island.

Westport was so named because it was the westernmost port in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. It was first settled by English colonists in 1670 as a part of Old Dartmouth by members of the Sisson family. The river, and the land around it, was called "Coaksett" in the original deed; the name, now spelled "Acoaxet," now refers to the southwestern community along the western branch of the Westport River.  Like many areas in the region, Westport was affected by Wampanoag raiding parties during King Philip's War. Several small mills were built along the Westport River, adding to its prosperity. In 1787, the growing town, along with the town of New Bedford, seceded from Dartmouth.

 

During the late 18th century and into the early 19th century, Paul Cuffee and his wife settled in the town. He was a Quaker businessman, sea captain, patriot, and abolitionist who developed a shipyard on the banks of the Westport River. Of Wampanoag and Ashanti ancestry, Cuffee became one of the richest free man of color in the United States at the time. He later helped the effort to resettle freed blacks to Sierra Leone in West Africa.

 

Several cotton mills operated along the river, the largest of which was at the junction of the river with Lake Noquochoke on the Dartmouth town line. The Macomber turnip traces its ancestry to seeds brought to Westport from the 1876 Centennial Exposition.  During the Second World War, a coastal defense installation was raised on Gooseberry Island.  The town is now mostly residential, with a large farming community. Horse Neck Beach State Reservation, located to the north and west of Gooseberry Island, is a popular summer destination for many in the area.
