history

The parish was proclaimed for settlement on April 29, 1751 by Governor Benning Wentworth ; Due to the British and Indian Wars that were taking place in the area at that time, however, the conquest of the land could not be commenced. The same group from Northampton (Massachusetts) were awarded the contract for the area again on September 21, 1761 and finally on April 17, 1764. The settlement of the town began in April 1763. The constituent assembly of the town took place on May 8, 1775.

Town House

The Marlboro Town House was built in 1822. It was used for city assemblies. It was built near the town's first church. Both buildings were relocated to South Road between 1836 and 1844. After the Town House was hit by a snow plow in 1966, it was relocated to its current location.

The economy of Marlboro has been largely agricultural from the beginning until today. Industry only existed in the form of a few watermills that stood on the torrents in the area. Due to the slightly mountainous surface of the town , livestock breeding was only possible to a relatively limited extent; Potatoes, oats and corn were particularly important crops around 1840. This management has remained largely the same to this day, albeit with a greater variety of products.

Religions

The first church, the Congretional Church , was consecrated as early as 1778 and rebuilt in 1820. The first parish hall followed in 1779. The most important parish is the United Church of Christ ; some other religious communities form further small communities.
