Town records, 1746-1868

Poznámky

Manchester was originally known as "Harrytown" or "Old Harry Town." The place was granted by the Masonian Proprietors in 1735 to the "Snow-shoe men" of Captain William Tyng and the name changed to "Tyng's Town." In 1751 it was incorporated and the name changed to "Derryfield." The first town meeting was held in the house of John Hall that same year. In 1795 a gore of land was annexed on the north side. In 1810 the name was changed to Manchester, after the cotton center of England. In 1846 it became a city and is now the largest city in the state. In 1853 the village of "Amoskeag" was severed from Goffstown and annexed, and the village of "Squog" from Bedford, so that Manchester now takes in territory on both sides of the Merrimack river. Attempts to annex more territory from Bedford, Goffstown and Hooksett in the legislature of 1915 were unsuccessful. Efforts to make this the capital were unsuccessful in 1863 and in 1907. Hillsborough county, first congressional, third councilor and sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth and twenty-second senatorial districts.
