  • Town Profile
    Narrative The Town of Fairhaven is a seaside community on the shore of Buzzards Bay, directly across the harbor from the famed whaling port of New Bedford. Fairhaven has a rich history dating back to the days of the Pilgrims. The first naval battle of the American Revolution was fought by Fairhaven militiamen aboard the sloop Success in May of 1775. The Town suffered both material damage and loss of life during the raids and battles of King Philip's war and significant settlement took place only after the war. Until the middle of the 18th century, the Town's economy was agricultural. Beyond that point there was a shift toward maritime activities such as shipbuilding, whaling and foreign trade focusing on the Town's wharves. By 1838, Fairhaven was the second busiest whaling port in the country and at its peak the Town boasted 46 ships and 1,324 men engaged in bringing back over $600,000 worth of whale products annually. Discovery of oil in Pennsylvania coming on the heels of a national depression ended whaling and the town turned to such industries as fishing, boat building and repair, and tack making. In 1903, the American Tack Company's new plant was said to be the largest and best tack mill in the world. Prominent Fairhaven resident Henry Huttleston Rogers went to Pennsylvania to learn about the oil industry. He became vice-president of Standard Oil Company and after making himself an oil millionaire Rogers re-made his hometown. He donated the town hall, library, Unitarian church, schools, streets and water system.

  • About Our High School
    About Our High School Digitized by: Max Isaksen 22 Aug 2018 About Fairhaven High School A booklet to acquaint students of Fairhaven High School with little-known facts about their school. COMPILED BY A SENIOR ENGLISH CLASS IN 1954 Mimeographing by courtesy of the Business Department of Fairhaven High School Funded by the Fairhaven High School Alumni Association PREFACE To those of its faculty, students and alumni who love Fairhaven High School, it comes, as a distinct shock to realize that very little authentic information about the school is available. We walk its corridors, realizing that we are indeed surrounded by beauty, but so used have we become to the unique qualities of our school, that we are no longer sensitive to its artistic appeal, curious about its history or grateful for its very distinct advantages. As the years creep on, information about the past of F.H.S. is harder and harder to come by. Charming legends and personal antidotes about the building and its founder are lost---carried only as they have been heretofore---on the tongues of those who gradually are passing from our scene. It has been felt, therefore, that there has developed a very real need to get down in black and white, facts about our school that can now be discovered only from diverse printed and written records, or are carried in the memories of our senior townspeople. A 1954 Senior English class of F.H.S. has undertaken this project, and in the following pages, lie the results of investigation by members of this group.

  • Lesson Plan Aim Rationale Student Learning Objectives Civics
    Unit Topic Industrialization The Captains of Industry (Project Learning) Lesson Plan Aim To evaluate the benefits and challenges of capitalism by analyzing the contributions of the Captains of Industry then and now. Rationale Contrary to what many may believe, the government is not what made America a superpower. America's growth and prosperity began much like the nation did itself, with determined, innovative individuals brave enough to take a risk. Businesses are born out of a dream to achieve greatness, and greatness is not a bad thing. This lesson will not only raise the hopes and dreams of students but remind them of the importance of hard work and determination. Although the challenges of capitalism will be presented through some of the unjust business practices of the time, teachers will also present the benefits of having an economic system that gives incentive for hard work and which is essential in building a powerful nation. Relating history to present day brings it to life for students. In a world where new frontiers mean new business opportunities, students can learn how capitalism is still necessary for this growth. Student Learning Objectives Students will be able to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of an economic system. Students will be able to make connections between the past and present. Students will be able to create a presentation to present facts clearly and concisely to their peers. Civics Connection • How can one change, strengthen, or improve upon a social, political, or economic standing? • How have social, political, and economic responsibilities developed over time and how do they impact the growth of a nation? *See the Civics Connection Through Questioning guide in Civics for more ideas.

  • Fairhaven Historical Overview
    Fairhaven Historical Overview For thousands of years before European contact, the area that is now Fairhaven was part of the territory of the federation of Wampanoag people or “People of the Dawn.” The local tribe of Native people, the Acushnet, wintered near the large inland lakes to the north in Lakeville and spent their summers along the shore of Buzzards Bay on the Acushnet River and Sconticut Neck. Locally they cleared land and farmed, raising corn, beans, and squash, and fished and dug shellfish through the summer. When English explorer Bartholomew Gosnold visited here in 1602, he was greeted by Native people, who offered furs and other goods to trade. In 1652, thirty-six Plymouth colonists purchased a 115,000-acre tract of land known as “the Second Place” from Wampanoag sachem Massasoit and his son Wamsutta. Among the purchasers were Mayflower passenger John Cooke, his father Francis Cooke, his mother-in-law Elizabeth Warren, his cousin Philippe De Lanoy (Philip Delano), and Sarah Jenney, whose families would settle on the east side of the Acushnet River. The territory was first settled in 1659. In 1664 it was incorporated as the town of Dartmouth. John Cooke settled here with his family about 1662. He was the only one of the original Pilgrims to move here. His homestead was located on an elevated area overlooking the river in what’s now North Fairhaven. Through the Revolutionary War the Fairhaven area of Dartmouth was primarily farmland, with a fledgling maritime economy developing in the small village of Oxford, Fairhaven, on the harbor at the mouth of the Acushnet River.

I investigated as I could, and worked myself almost to a nervous break-down in groping my way, without sufficient guide or chart, through this ever-widening field of philanthropic endeavour. There was then forced upon me the necessity to organize and plan this department of our daily tasks on as distinct lines of progress as we did our business affairs. —John D. Rockefeller, 1909 The road to the free market was opened and kept open by an enormous increase in continuous, centrally organized and controlled interventionism. To make Adam Smith’s ‘‘simple and natural liberty’’ compatible with the needs of a human society was a most complicated affair.
