| Incorporated: 1795 |
| Origin: This territory was chartered in 1770 by Governor John Wentworth. The land was granted to Sir James Cockburne and Sir George Colebrooke, who were connected to the East India Company, John Nelson of Granada, a Wentworth relation, and Sir John Stuart, Lord Bute, who held much influence with King George III. The group paid their respects to Lord Bute by naming the grant Stuart Town in his honor. The town was incorporated as Stuart in 1795, but questions about the legality of the proceedings resulted in a new incorporation as Stewartstown in 1799. The Abenaki Indian Metallak, well known and liked by area settlers, is buried in the town cemetery. |
