The Village of North Stratford occupies the farm of William Fuller, son of Luther Fuller, who was killed at Fort Ticonderoga, New York, during the War of 1812. William Fuller’s house was raided by Indians, five hundred of whom camped on the land now occupied by the village. The First Baptist Church was erected in 1852, and part of its vestry was used for the first schools. It was destroyed by fire in 1868, rebuilt, destroyed again by fire on Easter morning 1915, and the present structure was dedicated January 16, 1916.
