A TUMBNAI ISTORY OF RINDGE
A few permanent setters started cearing the and n
1752 but soon after the destruction of the Indian Viage
of St Francis in Canada by Rogers' Rangers and the astndian raids in New Hampshire in 175 and 760 the
permanent setters started coming into Rindge in arger
numbers
After a compicated background of transactions, the
and grants by the King and coonia government desended
to a group of mainy Portsmouth men caed the "MasoniProprietors w( o, in tu, aid out ton in the south
weste part of the State, encouraged setters, and Rindge
was amed for either one of the proprietors, John Rindge,
or, more probaby, fr Danie Rindge, a member of the
Goveor's Counci, a grandson After sufficient sette
ment had occurred, the Ton received a charter in the name
of King George the Third and by command of Goveor Went worth in 178 The Town government and Congregationa
Church organiatin were synonymous for many decades At
the end of the eighteenth century, members of other
denominations were excused from paying the ministeria tax
and after the adoption of a State statute in 181 Rindge
was among the first, if not the first, in the State to
acnowedge the vioation of individua rights in the maintenance of a municipa parish
In 175 the first Congregationa Church was buit on
the present site, and the first minister, the Reverend Seth
Dean, arrived Today's Meeting House was buit in 174 and
175, remodeed t east tree times s ince, and ony in the
ast few years has a written and detaed agreement been
made between the Curch and the Ton as to wic o rgani a
tion ons and is responsibe for what parts of the
struture

The Methodist Church Society wa formed late in the

J
common, the Volunteer Fire Department was formed in 12
and is now a well equipped and organied unit in the
service of the Town and surrounding communities
For many years after the founding of the Town, the
economy consisted mainly of subsistence farming, raising
and procuring rm the land and forest most of their food,
clothing and shelter with only the barest necessities
imported Gradually they were able to produce a surplus
to market in the surrounding tows and Boston, and in the. , frst half of the nneteenth century the Rndge farms were
thriving enterprises with perhaps 75% of the land in Town
clear of trees and fenced in by stone walls After the
extension of the rairoads west and the arrival of western
produce in the Eas, the farms of Northern New E ngland
became competitively less productive However, even in
the last 1th and early 20th centuries, sbsistence farms existed which saw only a few hundred dollars in cash during
the year but raised large and successful families n
recent times farming has consisted mainly of shipping milk
to assachusetts (Gardner and Worcester) and raising
produce
From early in the Tows history, starting with a saw
mill near rassy nd, many small manufacturing businesses,
woodworking shops tanneries, and even mines, wer
eveloped - many using the small streams and pond outlets
for power The onadnock Ra ilroad, with a station at West
Rindge, was constructed from Winchendon to eterborough in
872, and in 187 the New Hampshire Register, published i�
laremont, listed the following enteprses in Rindge by name and location J box companies, fancy wo o denware, saw
horses, spools and bobbins, J wodenware shops, J back
smiths, 2 carpenters, 2 masons, 2 painters, 1 wheelwright,
