Cabot CoveCabot Cove, Maine, is the small, fictional village in which Jessica Fletcher lives, in the popular television series "Murder, She Wrote". Weather: Atlantic, wet. Cabot Cove's name may be referred to John and Sebastian Cabot, the sailors who arrived in Newfoundland paid by the English monarchy in the early XV century. There are no proofs of it but Cabot Cove has been related to some important matters of the American History, specially the ones which have to do with the indepedence of the United States of America. There are traditions remembering those dates. Once a year the inhabitants celebrate a kind of Founding Fathers's Day, in which they hail a figure, historical or mithical (the debate is served), who participated in the events for achieving the indepedende. It has a good architectonical heritage in the form of Victorian houses. That rich tradition, being next to th coast and the neighbouring to the great Eastern cities transformed Cabot Cove from being a small economy based in fishing, to a tourist destination for the people coming from New York. Along the nineties, the construction has grown up, and so the population. That immigration is formed by people coming from the industrial cities of the Eastern coast. Despite this important economics' changes, politically there hasn't been many changes. The mayor has been Sam Booth for most of the time. Culturally, the most relevant figure is Jessica Beatrice Fletcher, J.B.Fletcher, the famous writer. Once a teacher, she became one of the main figures in the American Literature. Sometimes compared to Poe or Hammett, her stile has become popular all around the planet and a model in mistery narrative. Her first and main successful novel was "The Corpse Danced at Midnight", which had a film adaptation. Note: high crime rate.
