history

The Grant for Barnet was set by Bennet Wentworth under the New Hampshire Grants on September 15, 1763. Settlement did not begin until 1770 and the main features were completed in several phases by 1773. The Barnet area was given to 67 people; nine of them were members of the Stevens family who built a water mill. The main beneficiaries of the grant were Enos, Samuel, and Willard Stevens. Sons of Captain Phineas Stevens. The town's constituent assembly took place on March 18, 1783. The village was named after the Stevens' place of origin, Barnet in Hertfordshire, Great Britain, in 1807 when the post office opened in the main town of Stevens Village, now Barnet Village. The river on which the watermill was located became the Stevens River.

In the various localities of the area, the two parishes of the United Church of Christ are particularly worth mentioning; other communities are also present, but have only a small number of people.
