SALISBURY HISTORYPREFACEThe following statement was taken from The History ofEssex County by W.H.B. Currier:“Of the settlement of New England, Salisbury ranksamong the earliest. In 1638, just eighteen years after thePilgrims landed, a “Plantation” was begun on the North sideof the Merrimac.It appears by documentary evidence that on September4, 1639, the town was ordered to be called Colchester. At asession of the General Court held October 7, 1640, the namewas changed to Salisbury, and thus the town become incorporated.’’The location for the new “Plantation’’ was of great advantageto the first settlers. The marshes were a valuablesource of food for their cattle. The abundance of clams, fish,fowl and wild game offered a varied diet. There were berriesto pick and trees to build houses and sheds. The settlers discoveredan area of land cleared by the Indians. Here theyplanted their corn and built their village.Our forefathers were determined to start a new life in awild and uncertain new land. It was not an easy task theyundertook, as life was hard and often cruel. Many Salisburyresidents today are decendents of those early pioneers. Oneof the most prominent men of the times was Robert Pike,who came to Salisbury in 1639, and with him we will beginour history.viii
