Incorporated: 1761
|
Origin: This territory was first
chartered in 1753 as Addison, after Joseph Addison, Secretary of State
for England, who signed the appointment papers making John Wentworth
Lieutenant Governor of New Hampshire under the jurisdiction of
Massachusetts in 1717. As a result of the French and Indian War, few
original grantees settled there under the terms of the charter. The town
was regranted in 1761 as Marlow, and the charter renewed in 1772. In
some references, the name was in honor of Christopher Marlowe, the famed
author and playwright; others indicate it was taken from the English
town of the same name. Marlow was one of the towns that joined Vermont
during the boundary dispute, but returned to New Hampshire in 1781.
