A little history lesson first ...
Centerville is one of the seven villages in the Town of Barnstable, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod. Located on the South Side of Barnstable, Centerville is primarily residential, and includes a small business district as well as several notable beaches. Centerville contains the neighborhood of Craigville, which includes Craigville Beach, a long, wide beach on Nantucket Sound. In about 1925, the Craigville Cottage Owners Association was founded. In 1931, paved surfaces were laid on the village roads, and the first town water was piped into village. Throughout the 1930s Craigville Beach became a well-known bustling beach town. I\'ve included a photo of a 1930s postcard showing a picture of \"bath houses and beach at Craigville Beach, Cape Cod, Mass.\" The photo of the postcard is just to show you what Craigville Beach looked like with its bath houses in the 1930s -- THE POSTCARD IS NOT PART OF THIS LISTING.REPEATING:THE POSTCARD IS NOT PART OF THIS LISTING.
And now on to this listing ...
