SECTION 1. HISTORY and ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES the Following Is a Summary of Some of Poland’S Historical Highlights
SECTION 1. HISTORY AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES The following is a summary of some of Poland’s historical highlights. 1736 The General Court of Massachusetts granted a petition for two townships of land, including the geographical area of present-day Poland, to the officers and soldiers who had served in the disastrous campaign of 1690 against Canada. The grant was called the Bakerstown Grant. No real attempt to settle the area took place until 1768-69. 1741 George II settled a boundary dispute by creating the Province of New Hampshire. The land for the Bakerstown Grant falls within the new province’s boundary lines and the title issued by Massachusetts was invalidated. 1765 Land was granted by the Massachusetts General Court in 1765 to officers and soldiers who served with Sir William Phips in the 1690 Battle of Quebec. It replaced a 1736 grant made to them called Bakerstown (now Salisbury, New Hampshire) which was ruled invalid in 1741 at the separation of New Hampshire from Massachusetts. The new plantation was also called Bakerstown (after Captain Thomas Baker), and included present-day Poland, Minot, Mechanic Falls and the greater part of Auburn.[4] 1768-69 Some of the first settlers were Nathaniel Bailey, Daniel Land, Moses Emery, and John Newman. 1770 Moses Emery, Sr. settled in what is now East Poland and built mills on the south side of the Little Androscoggin River at Minot Corner and established a ferry. Mills provided boards for boxes, cornmeal and grains for settlers. 1772 Moses Emery, Jr. was the first male to be born in Bakerstown, as the area was originally called.
