Vineyard Haven is a census-designated place and village located in the town of Tisbury on Martha's Vineyard in Dukes County, Massachusetts, United States. It was originally known as Holmes Hole, probably after Reverend John Holmes, a Mayflower passenger and early resident of the island. It is the main port of entry to Martha's Vineyard, and one of the 3 main population centers (with Edgartown and Oak Bluffs). As of the 2000 census, the village had a total year-round population of 2,048. This population increases tremendously in the summer, as most houses on the Vineyard are owned by summer residents.
