How the name was read

Each atlas was set in type by a different hand and scanned decades later, so the same establishment comes back spelled differently. Every reading below was produced by the recogniser from the sheets; none was corrected or invented. They are published so a search for any of them finds this page.

Named in the 1897 county history

The history of Essex County was published 11 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

"Whereas the town of Salem is very large, and the inhabitants of the middle parishes so called live at a great distance from the first parish in Salem, where the publick affairs are transacted, and also from the grammar school in the first parish, and whereas the inhabitants of the First Parish are merchants, traders and mechanics, and those of the middle parishes chiefly husbandmen, from whence many disputes have arisen,

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Essex County, Massachusetts, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
