Osterville - Cape Cod

Zip Code - 02655
2010 Population: 3,633

With seventeen miles of shoreline, it is no wonder that Osterville was well known in early years for both ship building and salt production. Salt vats lined the shores of Osterville during the early 1800’s until boat building became the base of commerce for the village. The most recognized boat builder is Crosby, creator of the world famous Crosby Catboat (around 1850) and is still in business today. During World War II, the Crosby Yacht property was commandeered by the Army Corps of Engineers who conducted landing boat training for the Normandy Invasion, in 1945.

Originally named Cotacheset, the village was not known by the name Osterville until about 1815. Once home to Sea Captains and Oystermen, the village was developed to serve the needs of tourists and summer residents, with rail service beginning in the 1850’s. At just under six square miles, Osterville has secluded beaches, world class golf and a charming village center, brimming with boutiques, galleries and bistros.

*** WATCH *** MALE ARRESTED AFTER ALLEGED BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND ROAD RAGE DOGFIGHT
Monday September 26, 2022

HYANNIS ? It was described as some kind of back-and-forth road rage dogfight. A police patrolman reportedly saw one vehicle swerve toward another, causing it to leave the roadway. The female's vehicle reportedly left the roadway and hit some potholes at one point. The alleged car vs. car rolling domestic between a Hyannis man and woman, both said to have been boyfriend and girlfriend prior to this morning's tiff, was allegedly being acting out in front an unmarked Barnstable police cruiser. Had the alleged vehicular fury been allowed to continue, it very likely could have ended tragically. In an effort to put an end to the alleged recklessness, the patrolman activated his blue lights near the intersection of Route 28 and Hinckley Road. The female pulled over and was issued a citation for motor vehicle violations. The male driver continued on toward the Airport Rotary. He was eventually stopped several blocks away near the intersection of Barnstable Road and Winter Street. Eric Randall of Hyannis was arrested during the traffic stop at the intersection of Barnstable and Winter, according to radio transmissions.
