Bourne was the last town to be incorporated in Barnstable County (1884). The Town lies at the northeast corner of Buzzard's Bay and is the site of the Aptucxet Trading Post, the nations oldest store> It was founded by the pilgrims in 1627 at a site halfway between the two rivers which divided the Cape from the rest of the state. The Cape Cod Canal was formed to eliminate the need to sail around the hazardous eastern shores of Cape Cod. All three bridges (Bourne, Sagamore and the Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge)are located within the town.
