Named in the 1908 county history

The history of Middlesex County was published 21 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

In 1842 an attempt was made to resuscitate the First Parish by uniting all the elements not affiliating with the Evangelical Church. At about this time there was a Methodist Church organized and there was Methodist preaching for a few years.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Middlesex 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.
