Because of its almost perfect circle, a retired sea captain, after the Civil War, created a ½ mile race track around a pond. After damage from several storms to the southern point close to shore, the town fathers decided to create a harbor and move the race track. So, a channel was cut, and the pond dredged. "Wychmere" comes from a cottage colony established in Harwich in the 1880's.
