James K. WhiteNARRATOR
An Act of March 12, 1694-5, by the General Court of Massachusetts, enumerated the frontier towns which the inhabitants were forbidden to desert on pain of loss of their lands, if landholders, or of imprisonment, if not landholders, unless permission to remove were first obtained.
James K. WhiteNARRATOR
These eleven frontier towns included Wells, York, and Kittery on the eastern frontier, and Amesbury, Haverhill, Dunstable, Chelmsford, Groton, Lancaster, Marlborough, and Deerfield.
James K. WhiteNARRATOR
In March 1699-1700, the law was re-enacted with the addition of Brookfield, Mendon and Woodstock, together with seven others – Salisbury, Andover, Billerica, Hatfield, Hadley, Westfield and Northampton, which, though they be not frontiers as those towns first named, yet lie more open than many others to an attack of an enemy.
James K. WhiteNARRATOR
In the spring of 1704, the General Court of Connecticut, following closely the Act of Massachusetts, named as her frontier towns, not to be deserted, Simsbury, Waterbury, Danbury, Colchester, Wyndham, Mansfield, and Plainfield.

Amesbury was set off from Salisbury by division, one half of the signers of the agreement signing by mark.
James K. WhiteNARRATOR
Haverhill was first seated in 1641 following petitions from Mr Ward, the Ipswich minister, his son-in-law, Giles Furman, and others.

John OuelletteHOST
So we know that the budget pressures are still there.
John OuelletteHOST
How did communities respond after a loss in fiscal '26? Nineteen of them said, "We're going to live with what the voters told us." In fact, I had a conversation with Mayor Gove in Amesbury this morning because they had lost a $6 million, uh, override in fiscal '26 to check in about, you know, are there any plans, maybe this fall, maybe next spring, to come back.
John OuelletteHOST
And her response is basically, "The voters have spoken, and they've told us this is an affordability issue.
John OuelletteHOST
They love the services that we provide, but they've told us that they just can't afford it." And I think, you know, we've got 19 communities that had a loss in fiscal '26 that said, "Nope, we're going to figure out how to make it work." And then there were eight communities that came back in fiscal '27 with a question, but those numbers were dramatically smaller than what they had rolled out in fiscal '26.
