Return to Index History & History Related Items Orleans history: The first permanent settlement here was established by Nicholas Snow and his family in 1642. It was named for Louis Phillippe II, Duke of Orleans for the support of France during the Revolutionary War and was incorporated in 1797. The townspeople did not want an English name because they were captured twice during the Revolutionary War by the British. As the town grew, so did its need for resources. At first, the local economy was related to fishing, whaling and agriculture, but when the railroad was extended to the area, tourism began to expand and became an important aspect of the economy. When the Cape Cod National Seashore was established in 1961, the area economy received a nice boost. Here is a history page for Orleans.
