Named in the 1897 county history

The history of Essex County was published 10 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Another town-liouse was built about 1794-95. This was also used for a court-house, and the county paid half the cost. Its use as a town-house was discontinued in 1841, when, October 12th, the town sold its interest to the county for twelve hundred and fifty dollars. From that time to 1843 they had no townhouse. In that year, January 23d, the town instructed a committee to purchase the unused Unitarian church edifice, if it could be bought at two thousand dollars or less. Early in that year the purchase was made. The building has undergone considerable alteration and enlargement, and now is very serviceable for all the purposes of the town, for which such building is needed.

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.
