Hingham Construction and Contractor

Hingham was first settled as "Bare Cove" by English colonists in 1633, and it was officially incorporated as a town in 1635 under the name "Hingham". Hingham is home to the United States' oldest continuously used wooden house of worship, the Old Ship Church, built in 1681, which currently serves members of the Unitarian Universalist faith.

While strongly rooted in America's colonial past, Hingham has seen a wave of development in the past ten years. Real-estate development pressure in Hingham is likely spurred by several factors: the town's close proximity to Boston; its high-quality public education; its relatively unspoiled historic character, and expanding availability of public transportation to Boston, both by commuter ferry and restoration of commuter rail service planned for 2007.
