The
Town of New Marlborough Ma is situated on uneven and hilly terrain on an
elevated plateau in the southern Berkshires. It was one of the four towns
established by the Great and General Court to settle and protect the wilderness
trail that was the single route at the time from the lower Housatonic Valley
to the Connecticut Valley and Boston. The territory of New Marlborough
was granted as the six-mile square Township #2 in 1735. The surveys of
the town were completed in 1737 and the proprietors bought the land the
town is on from the Indians for 300 English pounds, a greater sum "than
ever paid by other proprietors", as they complained to the General Court.
There were 63 original home lots laid out in a "compact and defensible
form", one for each of the two ministers expected in the new town, one
for a school and one each for the grantees. The grantees were required
to put down 40 Sterling pounds to secure their grant. The first settler,
Benjamin Wheeler, built his house in 1739 and the first children born in
town were twins, a daughter and son for Mr. and Mrs. Brookins.
The town meeting of 1774 in New Marlborough gave staunch support to the principles of liberty and inalienable rights which would later be embodied in the Constitution of the new country. By 1759 there were enough settlers to secure formal incorporation of the town. New Marlborough contains a part of scenic Lake Buel, on which a steamboat ran in the 19th century, Campbell's Falls where the Whiting River pours down an 80' drop, and Tipping Rock. The Rock, a huge 40-ton boulder left behind by retreating glaciers in the ice-age, balances so delicately that one finger can tilt a weight that a bulldozer couldn't move. New Marlborough Mass is located in Southwestern Massachusetts, bordered by Monterey on the north; Sandisfield on the east; Norfolk and North Canaan, Connecticut, on the south; Sheffield on the west; and Great Barrington on the northwest. New Marlborough is 28 miles south of Pittsfield, 47 miles west of Springfield, and 136 miles southwest of Boston. |
