History
In the 1630s, the government of the Pilgrim settlers at Plimoth Plantation began to give out land grants in the area. The United States Census Bureau grouped the two villages together as a single "census-designated place" (CDP) for the purposes of the 2000 census; the CDP's population in that census was 5,100.
Brant Rock and Ocean Bluff were originally inhabited by Native Americans, including members of the Wampanoag Tribe of the Algonquin nation. From the 1600s through the late 1800s, the area was primarily used for salt marsh haying, cattle grazing, and for fishing and fowling. The Spectacle Islands were no longer surrounded by water from the tidal flooding of the marshes, and ceased to constitute "islands." In January, 1906, Reginald Fessenden achieved the first two-way transatlantic radiotelegraph transmission, exchanging Morse code messages between his stations in [http://users.ids.net/%7enewsm/Wireless/Fessenden/Fessenden.html Brant Rock] and Campbeltown Scotland. It was known by about 1638 as "Governor's Island." Later on in the 1600s, it became known as "Winter's Island." Christopher Winter was later tried in Plymouth Court for the crime of fathering his own grandchild.
