| Incorporated: 1773 |
| Origin: In 1749 this territory was chartered as Monadnock Number 2, sometimes called Middle Monadnock or Middletown. It was one of the first towns established under the New Hampshire proprietors' purchase of undivided lands under the Masonian claim. The grant was renewed in 1767, and the town incorporated in 1773 as Jaffrey, in honor of George Jaffrey, member of a prominent Portsmouth family. Both his father and son were named George, and all three served as treasurer of the province. George Senior held the position when the state was still under Massachusetts rule. George III also served as proprietors' clerk, and was a life trustee of Dartmouth College, providing the design for the official college seal. |
