Notes:
The first settlers arrived in what is now Blandford in 1735. They were Scots-Irish coming from Hopkinton, Massachusetts (30 miles from Boston). They came seeking a place to practice their Presbyterian faith freely. In keeping with their Scottish heritage, they chose Glasgow as the name for the new settlement.
When the settlers applied for incorporation in 1741, the governor noticed that they had added an extra square mile to the township, so he made them change the name of the town from Glasgow to “Blandford,” named for the ship that had brought him to America.
