New Bedford

The City of New Bedford is seen by its residents as a wonderfully diverse and culturally rich community with a proud past, present and future. The whaling capital of the world in the 18th century, the city has evolved to become the home of many major industries, which manufacture products used throughout the United States and abroad.


The city prides itself on its working waterfront and historic district, as well as its expanding retail and tourist trades. While it is a city of approximately 100,000 people, New Bedford maintains a close-knit community feel. Recently named one of the top ten "Green Cities" in the country, New Bedford residents feel that its parks are breathtaking and its beaches gorgeous.


Enhanced with festivals and celebrations throughout the year, New Bedford is a wonderful place to visit. The unbeatable quality of life relished by residents makes New Bedford an even better place to live and raise a family.
