Cape Cod is a 65-mile (105-km) long peninsula of Massachusetts that is a popular East Coast summer vacation area. Itâs easy to find on maps because of the distinctive hook at its far end. It was originally named Pallavisino by the first European to spot it, the Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazano, in 1524. In 1602, the English explorer Bartholomew Gosnold stumbled on it while searching for a shortcut to Asia. He renamed it Cape Cod because of the abundance of huge cod fish in its waters. Cod became extremely important to the New England economy for several hundred years.
