Map-Farmington Village, Strafford County, New Hampshire 1871 shows settlement, houses, buildings, roads, railroads, landowners, etc. The Atlas Of Strafford County New Hampshire. was created from actual surveys, drawn and published By Sanford & Everts, 320 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. E.F. Sanford formed a partnership with W.P. Everts and produced three atlases of Maine and New Hampshire counties, as well as a number of county and city wall maps. E.F. Sanford should not be confused with G.P. Sanford, who worked for and with F.W. Beers, D.J. Lake, and others. They may have been related. This atlas is very much in the style of the Beers atlases.

GENERAL HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION OF STRAFFORD COUNTY.
The Indian tribes which had their homes where Strafford County is now located, and before the white man trorl the soil, wore the NewiohaWftimaOka, the Winneeowetts,
and the Piscataquas. Very liltlo is known of these tribes; history fails to give tbeir number and strength. The Newidhftwaimookfl Intel a village on both bunks of the Salmon
Falls River, at South Berwick, and the Piscataquas were located along the Piscataqua and Cocheco Iiivors. Indian relics have beeu brought to light in different parts of tho
country.
Strafford County, situated in the east-southeast part of the State, was established by an act of colonial legislature, passed March 10, 1771. It was ushered into being by
the same act which created Hillsborough, Cheshire, Rockingham and Grafton Counties; and at that time was designated the "third county," and embraced territory more than
treble its present size.
Conway was annexed to it from Grafton County, November 10, 1778. It was reduced to its present limits by an act passed December '23, L840, which
erected Belknap and Carroll Counties, the former taking eight towns, and the latter fourteen, leaving it smaller than any county in the State. It now comprises thirteen towns,
This county was oue of the first settled
viz., Dover, Durham, Farmington, Leo, Madbury, Middleton, Milton, New Durham, Rochester, Hollinsford, Somersworth, and Strafford.

separated from Maine by tho Salmon Falls (or Newichawannock) and Piscataqua rivers.
The soil is composed of clay in the valleys, and sandy loam on the uplands; and the surface is ragged and uneven. In the southern portion, with sufficient application
of modern improvements in agriculture, and proper attention, the soil yields abundant returns; hut the northern towns are rocky and uneven, until ting it for cultivation, Mid

at every available point.
The Salmon Falls is navigable for sloops to South Berwick, and the Cocheco to Dover. Prior to 1841, these two rivers furnished tho principal

_
mode
of travel and transportation to and from the county.
Railroads.— The Boston and Maine Railroad, which extends through the southeasterly part of the county, was completed in 1S43. The Dover and Winmpiscogee
(formerly Cochccoi Railroad, from Dover to Alton Bay, a distance of twenty-eight and one-half miles, was incorporated in ls-17, commenced building
,ge, in Wakefield, tho
1850. The Portsmouth, Great Falls and Conway Railroad was incorporated 1844, commenced building 1847, finished to Rochester 1849, to Union V
Rochester Railroad,
present terminus of the road, in 1800; and ere many years we may expect to see its line extended to the foot of the White Mountains. The Portland
Irond from Rochester
from Portland, Maine, to Rochester, New Hampshire, is nearly completed, and will probably bo in running order during the summer of 1871. Also a

andswamps. Valuuiian of tanas fjt 174 1,0(1. There tire 101) houses and
lOu families.
The principal agricultural products arc corn, oats, and
potatoes, though the soil is rocky nml moist, and is la tter lined for grniing.
Tho tnwn has increased very little in papulation during tho Inst
decade.
In 18&H it was estimated at ITli couls, by (he census of 1870 it
numbers 482.
Tho first settlers came here in the beginning of the Slh century, mostly
from Lee, Somcrsworlh, and Rochester. The town was incorporated .March
-I, 1778, and in December,
1704, the town uf Brook field was severed from
it.
For mnny years these two town- united in sending a representative to

In 1H2H David Davis. Lsip, win. represented these towns
in the Legislature, can-e.1 a special ml Io be passed, allowing each town o

The first settled minister wns Rev. Net,..

(mlwav flJrlbodox), his
successor, Elder John Bu^.ell, n Eree-W il! Baptist, established a church,
since which lime this has been the prevailing religious sentiment.
Tho southern and central parts of Middleion have a level surface, but
while looking north, Brcat Moose, Bald, nnd Barker mountains tower up
before tho eye of the beholder, forming a natural bulwark between this
and Ihc town of Brookfield. The soil yields scant returns, yet by that
perseverance and industry which characterize Ibe people of New England,
many arc in prosperous circumstances.
Middletou t'orncrs, a little limalvl south of Iho c nire of the town, is
the principal place of business.
