Acoaxet, MA – Historic Dark Tee

Wear the Roots of Acoaxet / Westport

Acoaxet Became Westport, MA

Discover the legacy of New England’s coastal heritage with the Acoaxet, MA – Historic Dark Tee, a sleek dark-colored shirt featuring a striking white graphic. It's inspired by the little-known history of Acoaxet, the original Algonquian name that means, “the land on the other side of the little land”.

Acoaxet was first recorded in an 1795 survey of Westport as a name for the western branch of the river. Settlement in this area gained momentum in the 1870s when wealthy visitors from nearby Fall River built summer cottages, hotels, and casinos along the stunning coastal zone. In fact, in 1926, local affluent families voted unsuccessfully for secession, wanting their own municipality—reflecting unique local pride.

Today, Acoaxet remains a cherished village within Westport, MA—a vantage where ocean meets harbor, history meets lifestyle. The tee’s crisp white design evokes shoreline maps, old survey lines, and the spirit of coastal resilience—a tribute to generations of fishermen, beachgoers, and summer stewards.
