NAMING A TOWN.
Concord Was Selected After Fifty
Years Of Controversy.

The name of Concord. y. III was
given to the town after Il controversy
which lasted fifty years. In 1925 the
land now within its bounds was grant
ed TO the coloniSts under the name of
Peacock by the coiony of Massachu-
sets: This claim was disputed by the
colony of New Hampshire, which two
years later granted this same land to
the township OF Bow. 1873 Massachu-
sets incorporated Peacock into "A
township named Rumford. and for
more than forty years n fierce legal
controversy was carried on. No agree
ment could be reached, and the mat
ter was taken TO the authorities in
England, but even then there was no
satisfactory nor permanent settlement.
In the face of an evident leaning
toward the claims of Bow. both In
England and in America. the little
band of colonists in Rumford fought
on Valiantly, and i'm 1865 an act Of
incorporation was granted TO the in
habitants of Rumford This was still
highly unsatisfactory because it only
made them Il parish in the town OF
Bow.
The controversy continued until l7T4.
when IL was finally settled and an
independent town was formed under
the name of Concord II was due to
tile devotion of the little band of
settlers To their cause and the unity
independent Incorporation of the town
was finally obtained and 1t was emf

existed between them during the strug-
Gle of nearly fifty years should he
