Falmouth, Massachusetts

From Wikipedia.

I had never heard of this town (and at first thought it might be in Maryland) so had to look it up. It is in Massachusetts and on Cape Cod.

During the War of 1812, action took place there when several British frigates and ships of the line bombarded Falmouth Heights while Massachusetts militia hastily entrenched on the beaches to repel an expected landing that never came.

Also, in 1859, Katharine Lee Bates, author, poet and lyricist of "America the Beautiful" was born there.

Nothing about the Nimrod attack, though.
