Origin:
First granted by Governor Jonathan Belcher of Massachusetts in 1736 to several Boston families. The town was to have been called Lanestown or Piscataquog Township. Not all the grantees took up their claims, and the land was regranted ten years later to colonizers from Londonderry, New Hampshire. In 1763, Governor Benning Wentworth formally adopted the long-used name of New Boston.

More about New Boston:
New Boston is a small but typical New England town with quiet roads for biking, the Piscataquog River for fishing and a civic-minded community.
