Named in the 1883 county history

The history of Bristol County was published 20 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The establishment of the Congregational church in this town was brought about in 1807, with Rev. Daniel Emerson as the first pastor, the church edifice being built in 1817. A South Dartmouth Baptist church, now closed, was formed in May, 1831, as a branch of the New Bedford Baptist Church. Yet another church formed in 1836, the Second Christian Church, is not active at this time. The Methodist Episcopal church, organized in 1838, has declined in interest and membership. The Smith Mills Christian Church was formed December 22, 1838, the house being built just previously. The Christian Church in the Bakerville district was built in 1837, the organization taking place in 1838.

Provenance

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