history

Benning Wentworth awarded the Grant for Newbury on March 18, 1763 to General Jacob Bayley and 74 others. The Newbury Grant was part of the New Hampshire Grants . At the same time, Wentworth awarded a grant on the eastern side to Moses Hazen and others. The names of the towns were named by both of them after their former, also neighboring home towns in Massachusetts: Newbury and Haverhill. Bayley and Hazen became friends and worked together on various projects, such as the Bayley-Hazen Military Road . It ran from Newbury to Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu , Québec, and modern roads still run along its route today. The settlement of Newbury started as early as 1762, the first family to settle in the town was that of Samuel Sleepner, a Quaker who later moved on to Bradford. In October 1764, Bayley moved to Newbury with his family. They settled at the Oxbow. The town was organized shortly after the settlement started.

The Vermont College of Fine Arts emerged from Newbury Seminary , a school of the Methodist and Wesleyan Churches , founded in 1831 , and Boston University was also founded in Newbury in 1839 as a Methodist seminary, the Newbury Biblical Institute .

Parts of the town center have been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983 . The Wildwood Hall was registered as early as 1978. The Oxbow Historic District and Newbury Village Historic District followed in 1983.
