History
Brief: |
After the King Phillips War this land, settled by the Showtcuket Indians was broken up and sold to the proprietors of Ipswich, Massachusetts. By 1718, the inhabitants were characterized as �Farmers in ye Crotch of ye River.� The Ecclesiastical Society which grew up here was called the North East Society of Norwich and in October 1722 was named Newent. It was incorporated as a Parish in 1723 and as a town in 1786 when it was named, Lisbon. Town vital records begin 1788. Barbour collection records cover 1786-1850. |
