NewEnglandTowns.org brings together historic accounts of New England places that not only tell us about times gone by, but also offer hints and revelations for the modern visitor. The historic descriptions brought together at NewEnglandTowns.org are fully-interlinked transcriptions from John Hayward's New England Gazetteer, published in Boston in 1839 and for many years one of the most popular reference works in New England. Hayward capitalized on the growing commercial consciousness of America, and his Gazetteer educated the citizens of the new republic about their history, landscape, population, geography, and commercial potential. Travel back in time with John Hayward and see what early America was like.
