and flourishing farming town, 23
miles N. from Portland, and 38 S.
W. from Augusta. Incorporated,
1774. Population, 1837, 1,861. It
is well watered by Royal’s river,

to build a block house for their pro-

building the people attended pub-,

This town has an abundant water
power, a school fund of $4,000, and
a society of about 300 of those neat
and industrious people, “ whose
faith is one and whose practice is
one.” See-Canterbury, N. H.
