| Origin: One of six towns granted by the
Massachusetts government in the last year of the reign of
King George I. It started as a parish of Exeter, and was
granted full town privileges by legislature in 1737. It was
probably named for Newmarket in County Suffolk, England. The
Lamprey River, running through the town, was named for John
Lamprey, whose name was Saxon for "a woodland enclosure
where peace is to be found." For a while, the town was
called Lampreyville. Newmarket was a center of the New
England shipping trade with the West Indies. |
