About New Bedford, Massachusetts
New Bedford is a city in Bristol County, Massachusetts, United States.

From there, he explored Cape Cod and the neighboring areas, including the site of present-day New Bedford. Benjamin Russell, Clement Nye Swift, Clifford Warren Ashley, and Albert Pinkham Ryder are notable artists from New Bedford.
