| Incorporated: 1794 |
| Origin: This territory was granted in 1769 to families from Portsmouth and led by Captain John Fisher, brother-in-law to Governor John Wentworth, who gave it the name Protectworth. The governor reserved a substantial portion of the grant for himself. In 1775, the governor fled New Hampshire, and Captain Fisher, who chose to side with Governor Wentworth in loyalty to England, had all his holdings confiscated by the colonies. Those who had settled the area petitioned for ownership of the land in 1780. In 1794 residents petitioned for incorporation, and asked to have their town named Springfield. |
