About Truro
2007 Population: 2,029
The Town of Truro is a small, rural community of Lower Cape Cod where the
quaint and unique character of "Old Cape Cod" is preserved. Truro is rich
in history and strongly tied to the sea. It is in Truro where the Pilgrims
from the Mayflower found a spring from which they drew their first drink of
water in the new land, and where they found a cache of Indian corn, at a
place named Corn Hill, that saved them from starvation after their first
year.
Truro possesses beautiful beaches on Cape Cod Bay and some of the most
magnificent beaches on the Atlantic Ocean. A source of inspiration to
artists and beachcombers alike, Truro's beaches, dunes and landscape of
rolling hills are an attraction to tourists and vacationers. Home to a
diverse year-round population, Truro's permanent population includes
fishermen, tradesmen and an ever-growing number of retirees.
The town is home of the famous Cape Cod Light, Cape Cod's oldest
lighthouse, which was first erected in 1797 and replaced by the current
structure in 1857. The national landmark is in danger of falling into the
ocean due to erosion, unless the town and area citizens receive support and
cooperation from the federal and state governments. With over half of its
land area within the Cape Cod National Seashore District, the residents of
Truro are dedicated to preserving the special character of this seashore
community.
