Containing the arm-shaped peninsula called Cape Cod; Barnstable County may be the most geographically distinguishable area of Massachusetts. A hot spot for annual tourism and the state’s most prominent vacation area, Barnstable County has countless miles of beaches, historic landmarks, natural attractions, restaurants and art galleries. Additionally famous for its bed and breakfasts and antiquing opportunities, Cape Cod is never short of things to do. Golfing and fishing are tremendously popular, and the county is of great historical significance to the nation as the site of the Pilgrims first landing. A fantastically unique place, the weather is distinct. Summer mornings are cool with salted mists transforming into hot beach sun by midday.
The county was founded in 1685 and was once described by Italian explorer Giovanni Da Verrazzano as “a high county full of very dense forests, composed of pines.” Scenic and welcoming, the population of Barnstable County exceeds 200,000. Well, spread out; the largest city is Barnstable, which also functions as the county seat.

Veterans in Barnstable County
Nearly 20,000 veterans make Barnstable County their primary residence. Part of historic Massachusetts and encompassing Cape Cod, Barnstable County has a long and well-documented relationship with the United States military.
The peninsula of Massachusetts, Barnstable County is the site of both operational Coast Guard bases in the state. Air Station Cape Cod is responsible for the entirety of the water area that runs from New Jersey to the Canadian border. Home to four MH-60T Jayhawk helicopters and three HC-144A Ocean Sentry fixed wing aircraft, the air station is the only Coast Guard aviation facility in the northeastern United States. The base maintains the capability of launching a helicopter or fixed wing aircraft every day of the year, in almost all weather conditions. The base works in the areas of search and rescue, homeland security, law enforcement, logistics, and marine fisheries.
Sector Southeastern New England is also headquartered in Barnstable County. The Coast Guard military service is maintained at eight different stations, with the command emanating from Woods Hole. The service provides search and rescue between Watch Hill Point Rhode Island and Manomet Point Massachusetts.
Barnstable County is the site of the Massachusetts National Cemetery, located in Bourne. Adjacent to the Otis Air National Guard Base, the cemetery can accommodate casketed or cremated burials, and honors veterans with 50 memorials spread throughout the grounds.
Local veterans are offered services at the Hyannis Vet Center and the Hyannis Outpatient Clinic. The vet center specializes in readjustment counseling and specializes in trauma related issues. The OPC provides primary health care, mental health services, lab work, radiology and pharmaceutical care.
Hyannis is also the site of the Barnstable County Veterans’ Services District office. The office handles applications from vets for financial and medical assistance and sets up transportation for veterans to specific VA facilities. The office also assists local veterans in understanding and applying for the benefits in which they are entitled under state and federal law.
