Incorporated: 1770
|
Origin: This territory was known as
First Township, being the first that lay at Winepessocky, with Meredith
being the second. In 1748, a grant was issued by the Masonian
Proprietors to settlers from Hampton, Exeter, and Stratham, including 12
Sanborns, and so the town was named Sanbornton. The town was officially
incorporated as such in 1770. The southern portion of town, known as
Sanbornton Bridge, was the winter quarters for the colonial army during
the 1746 Canada Expedition. In 1869, Sanbornton Bridge was incorporated
as the town of Tilton.
