About Northfield, New Hampshire
Northfield is a town of 4,872 people in Merrimack County, on the south bank of the Winnipesaukee River across from Tilton. When Canterbury was set up as a frontier town in 1741, this land was its northern end. Tradition holds that its first settlers were scouts from Capt. Jeremiah Clough's garrison fort who patrolled here in the 1740s. They cleared farms, and dams on the rivers and brooks turned the first sawmills and gristmills.
By the 1770s the north fields held so many families that the long trip to Canterbury's center for town business had become a hardship. On March 30, 1780, 43 residents asked the state to make them a separate town named Northfield, and the legislature agreed. The Boston, Concord and Montreal Railroad arrived in 1848, and by 1859 the town of 1,332 people had a woolen factory and a mill making wrapping paper, both powered by the river.
“We your Humble Petitioners Living at a great Distance from ye Center of the Towne Some of us nine or ten Miles and Consequently at a very great disadvantage in joining with them all Publick Town affairs”
- An arch for peace, 1882Mill owner Charles E. Tilton admired Rome's Arch of Titus in 1881 and wanted one at home honoring peace, not war. Dow & Wheeler of Concord designed it in rough Concord granite for an Elm Street hill in Northfield, about 150 feet above the river. Finished in 1882 for 50,000 dollars, the Memorial Arch of Tilton has a red granite lion and a 50-ton sarcophagus at its base. Tilton was buried in Park Cemetery instead.
- A library from 1887Mary Hall Cummings left money for a library in 1887, and the Hall Memorial Library went up that year at 18 Park Street in red brick and brownstone. The Boston architects Wait & Cutter built it in the Richardsonian Romanesque style as a near twin of their Merrick Library in Brookfield, Massachusetts. It serves as the public library for both Northfield and Tilton.
- From mills to lensesThrough the 19th century and most of the 20th, Northfield kept both its farms and its factories. In time, big textile and paper mills replaced the first sawmills and gristmills. When those industries faded, many of the old mill buildings were torn down, while others were put to work making optical lenses and lead batteries.
- The boy who became FolsomAfter his father died, young Joseph Libbey Folsom came to live in Northfield with his family. He later attended West Point and served as an Army officer in California, where he became San Francisco's first Collector of the Port under American rule. He laid out a town near Sacramento, and after his death in 1855 it was renamed Folsom for him.
