Westport, the westernmost port in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, was settled in 1670 and borders the State of Rhode Island. The town is known as a "right-to-farm" community, with the Macomb turnip, sunflowers, corn, and pumpkins being among the most popular corps. With 33 miles of shoreline, recreational activities abound especially at Horseneck Beach, a popular summer destination.

New Jersey - Large Letter Postcard
The Garden State
2014
- - - - - - -
This is from the State of New Jersey's web site:
Abraham Browning of Camden is given credit for giving New Jersey the nickname the Garden State. According to Alfred Heston's 1926 two-volume book Jersey Waggon Jaunts, Browning called New Jersey the Garden State while speaking at the Philadelphia Centennial exhibition on New Jersey Day (August 24, 1876).
Browning said that our Garden State is an immense barrel, filled with good things to eat and open at both ends, with Pennsylvanians grabbing from one end and New Yorkers from the other. The name stuck ever since.
However, Benjamin Franklin is credited with a similar comparison of New Jersey to a barrel tapped at both ends. Some have used that to discredit Browning with naming the Garden State.
In 1954, the state legislature passed a bill to have "The Garden State" added to license plates. Before signing the bill into law, Governor Robert Meyner investigated the origins of the nickname and found "no official recognition of the slogan Garden State as an identification of the state of New Jersey." He added, "I do not believe that the average citizen of New Jersey regards his state as more peculiarly identifiable with gardening for farming than any of its other industries or occupations." Governor Meyner vetoed the bill, but the legislature overrode the veto. The slogan was added to license plates soon after.

The sender writes:
As of 2010, neither South Beach nor South Pointe are separate cities or municipalities, however, both are so popular and famous around the world that they each have their own postcards. These two Miami Beach neighborhoods are upscale areas that serve as backgrounds for model shoots.

Massachusetts - Cape Cod, Large Letter Reproduction
Massachusetts
Cape Cod is a narrow, sandy peninsula shaped like a welcoming arm stretching 70 miles out into the Atlantic Ocean. Clean, sandy beaches, clear ocean water, and a cooling ocean breeze make it a vacation paradise. After a day on the beach, there are unusual gift and antique shops to explore, museums and galleries to see, and excellent theaters and restaurants to enjoy.

Akron's growth falls into five periods, following successive stages of transportation - canoe, canal boat, railroad, motor transport and air-way. The rise of each new type of trade route opened the way to Akron's greater development.
Akron ranks second in Ohio and eleventh in the United States in industrial payrolls and value of manufactured products. It is the largest rubber manufacturing center in the world. Akron has a Metropolitan Park system of over 2,000 acres, city parks, Municipal University and a fine public school system.
