| Incorporated: 1840 |
| Origin: This territory was settled well before the Revolution, though the land was not granted by the English government but sold to speculators by an Abenaki chief. Because of this, the US-Canada boundary in the area was disputed for nearly 60 years. In 1832, exasperated residents established Indian Stream Republic and declared themselves a sovereign nation, with their own constitution and separate government. After four years, Canada relinquished claim to the territory, and residents accepted New Hampshire authority. Indian Stream Republic was incorporated with Pittsburg in 1840, though the official boundary lines were not established until 1848. The name Pittsburg is in honor of William Pitt, Prime Minister of England. |
