History of Millpond

Millpond’s history is long, rich, and deeply layered, shaped by generations of intriguing characters who helped forge the town into what it is today. Founded in the mid-1650s as little more than scattered farmland and a modest settlement, Millpond steadily expanded, its roots spreading outward with each passing decade until it became a bustling hub of the Northeast.

When the railroads were built, they offered an immense opportunity for Millpond. The exportation of lumber and raw materials, along with weapons and ammunition, flowed out of Millpond and out into the heart of the United States. At the core of this growth stood the town’s founding family, the Archingolds, whose influence brought wealth, work, and a sense of purpose to those who called this place home.

Yet, Millpond has never been just another industrious New England town. Beneath its calm streets and white picket fences, lie secrets buried deep within the soil. Stories whispered, rumoured, and sometimes elaborated. Some of these tales are only now beginning to surface.

So explore Millpond’s past. Immerse yourself in its vibrant history. Just remember, when you start digging, you might uncover things of a disturbing nature.
