The first chapter provides an overview of the town's early history, including its founding by English settlers in the 1630s. The subsequent chapters cover topics such as the town's involvement in the American Revolution, the development of its maritime industry, and the growth of its agricultural sector.In addition to its historical content, Old Newbury also includes biographical sketches of many of the town's most prominent residents.
