Mashpee is a town on Cape Cod in Barnstable County, located on the Cape's upper western shore between Falmouth and Barnstable. The town is known for its mix of coastal and freshwater landscapes, including the Mashpee River, Waquoit Bay area, and numerous ponds, and it has a strong connection to the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, whose reservation lands lie within the town. Mashpee's single-family homes carry a notably high assessed value, and its per capita income is among the higher figures on the Cape, reflecting its popularity as a year-round and seasonal residential community. The Mashpee Middle-High School serves students from the town in a single campus setting.
