title="Massachusetts">Massachusetts</a>, in the northeastern United States. Its historic, maritime character and ample beaches attract heavy tourism during the summer months. The name Cape Cod, coined in 1602 by <a href="/wiki/Bartholomew_Gosnold" title="Bartholomew Gosnold">Bartholomew Gosnold</a>, is the ninth oldest English place-name in the U.S.<sup id="cite_ref-NamesOnTheLand_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NamesOnTheLand-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>As defined by the <a href="/wiki/Cape_Cod_Commission" title="Cape Cod Commission">Cape Cod Commission</a>'s enabling legislation, Cape Cod is coextensive with <a href="/wiki/Barnstable_County,_Massachusetts" title="Barnstable County, Massachusetts">Barnstable County, Massachusetts</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It extends from <a href="/wiki/Provincetown,_Massachusetts" title="Provincetown, Massachusetts">Provincetown</a> in the northeast to <a href="/wiki/Woods_Hole,_Massachusetts" title="Woods Hole, Massachusetts">Woods Hole</a> in the southwest, and is bordered by <a href="/wiki/Plymouth,_Massachusetts" title="Plymouth, Massachusetts">Plymouth</a> to the northwest. The Cape is divided into fifteen <a href="/wiki/New_England_town" title="New England town">towns</a>, several of which are in turn made up of multiple named villages. Cape Cod forms the southern boundary of the <a href="/wiki/Gulf_of_Maine" title="Gulf of Maine">Gulf of Maine</a>, which extends north-eastward to <a href="/wiki/Nova_Scotia" title="Nova Scotia">Nova Scotia</a>. </p><p>Since 1914, most of Cape Cod has been separated from the mainland by the <a href="/wiki/Cape_Cod_Canal" title="Cape Cod Canal">Cape Cod Canal</a>.

Many <a href="/wiki/Kettle_(landform)" title="Kettle (landform)">kettle ponds</a> – clear, cold lakes – were formed and remain on Cape Cod as a result of the receding glacier. By about 18,000 years ago, the ice sheet had retreated past Cape Cod. By roughly 15,000 years ago, it had retreated past southern New England. With so much of Earth's water locked up in massive ice sheets, the sea level was lower.

Initially, sea level rose quickly, about 15 metres (49 ft) per 1,000 years, but then the rate declined. On Cape Cod, sea level rose roughly 3 metres (9.8 ft) per millennium between 6,000 and 2,000 years ago. After that, it continued to rise at about 1 metre (3.3 ft) per millennium. By 6,000 years ago, the sea level was high enough to start eroding the glacial deposits that the vanished continental ice sheet had left on Cape Cod. The water transported the eroded deposits north and south along the outer Cape's shoreline through a process known as <a href="/wiki/Longshore_drift" title="Longshore drift">longshore drift</a>. Those reworked sediments that moved north went to the tip of Cape Cod. The entire town of Provincetown, at the extreme tip of the Cape, is a <a href="/wiki/Spit_(landform)" title="Spit (landform)">spit</a> consisting largely of deposited <a href="/wiki/Marine_sediment" title="Marine sediment">marine sediment</a> that was eroded and transported from farther south along the shore. Those sediments that instead moved south created the islands and shoals of Monomoy. So while other parts of the Cape have dwindled from the action of the waves, these parts of the Cape have grown through the <a href="/wiki/Deposition_(geology)" title="Deposition (geology)">deposition</a> of sediment in just the last 6,000 years. </p><p>This process continues today. Due to their exposure to the open ocean, the Cape and islands are subject to considerable <a href="/wiki/Coastal_erosion" title="Coastal erosion">coastal erosion</a>. Due to erosion, the Cape will be completely submerged by the sea within several thousand years.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This erosion causes the washout of beaches and the destruction of the barrier islands; for example, the ocean broke through the barrier island at Chatham during <a href="/wiki/Hurricane_Bob" title="Hurricane Bob">Hurricane Bob</a> in 1991, allowing waves and storm surge to hit the coast with no obstruction. Consequently, the sediment and sand from the beaches are being washed away and deposited elsewhere. While this destroys land in some places, it creates land elsewhere, most noticeably in marshes where sediment is deposited by flowing water. </p><p>Cape Cod's aquifer consists of six hydrologically independent <a href="/wiki/Lens_(hydrology)" title="Lens (hydrology)">lenses</a> from which all the towns on the Cape obtain drinking water (except Falmouth, which, in 2015, drew 43.5% of its water from Long Pond).<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Contamination with industrial chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs from septic systems is a concern.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 2023, the state began a nitrogen pollution regulation scheme for Cape Cod and the Islands to address overgrowth of algae, cyanobacteria, and plants.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Cape_Cod_ISS.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/54/Cape_Cod_ISS.JPG/220px-Cape_Cod_ISS.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/54/Cape_Cod_ISS.JPG/330px-Cape_Cod_ISS.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/54/Cape_Cod_ISS.JPG/440px-Cape_Cod_ISS.JPG 2x" data-file-width="3032" data-file-height="2008" /></a><figcaption>View of Cape Cod from the <a href="/wiki/International_Space_Station" title="International Space Station">ISS</a></figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Climate">Climate</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cape_Cod&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Climate"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Under the <a href="/wiki/K%C3%B6ppen_climate_classification" title="Köppen climate classification">Köppen climate classification</a>, the Cape Cod area has an <a href="/wiki/Oceanic_climate" title="Oceanic climate">oceanic climate</a>.

This is due to the maritime influence inhibiting summertime thunderstorm development and maintenance. The region does not experience a greater number of sunny days, however, as the number of cloudy days is the same as inland locales, in addition to increased fog. On average, roughly 27 inches (69 cm) of snow, which is about 17 inches (43 cm) less than Boston, falls in an average winter. </p><p>Once every five or six years, a <a href="/wiki/Tropical_storm" class="mw-redirect" title="Tropical storm">tropical storm</a>, accompanied by very high and potentially damaging winds and heavy rain, will strike the region. About once every 11 or 12 years a <a href="/wiki/Hurricane" class="mw-redirect" title="Hurricane">hurricane</a> brings damaging winds and <a href="/wiki/Storm_surge" title="Storm surge">storm surges</a> to the region.

Three years later - in 1913 - another Cape Cod Baseball League was organized. This venture lasted two years. In 1916, a third attempt at league play barely got off the ground. Then, in 1923, an initial four teams met in Hyannis and started a successful federation along the lines of the present league. Outstanding players from throughout the region competed until the war effort led to a shutdown in 1940. In 1946, the local town teams from the prewar County Twilight League and Lower Cape Cod League organized under the Cape Cod Baseball League banner. As the years passed, local players were moved aside by outside college stars.
