History

Based on the 1640 southern boundary of Bachiler's farm, the Shapley Line was surveyed by Capt. Nicholas Shapley in 1657 and divided the Province of New Hampshire from the Massachusetts Bay Colony from 1689 to 1741. In 1662 three Quaker women, banished from the territory, were freed south of here by Constable Walter Barefoot. Edward Gove, imprisoned in the Tower of London for leading the rebellion against Lt. Gov. Cranfield in 1683, lived nearby.
