It is often called just "the Vineyard". With a land area of 87.48 square miles (231.75 km²), Martha's Vineyard is the 57th largest island in the United States. It is located in the U.S. state of Massachusetts, in Dukes County, which also includes Cuttyhunk and the other Elizabeth Islands, as well as the island of Nomans Land). It was home to one of the earliest known deaf communities in the United States; consequently, a special dialect of sign language, Martha's Vineyard Sign Language, developed on the island. The island is primarily known as a summer colony, and is accessible only by boat and by air. Nevertheless, its year-round population has grown considerably since the 1960s. read full wikipedia reference about Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS IN MASSACHUSETTSAndover Boston Burlington Cambridge Cape Cod Greater Area Danvers Hyannisport Lenox Marlborough Martha's Vineyard Milford Northampton Pittsfield Plymouth Provincetown Springfield Sturbridge Waltham West Springfield Westborough Woburn Worcester |
