HILLSBOROUGH

was once known as Washington; but when it was decided to locate a post office at this point, the name was changed to Hillsborough, because of another town in the State named after the immortal George - or the place where is now seated the head of the Government. J.R. Moore and William Newman laid out the place February, 1840. So the people were content.

Among the first comers in this place were John A. Pope, Col. Samuel Pope and John Chainholtz.

There are three churches, a school, flouring-mill and two or three stores at Hillsborough.

The oldest church organization is the Methodist, although they did not build a church until 1874.

The Congregationalists put a church in 1852-58, being a few years after their organization.

In 1858, or about that time, the Free Baptist Church was organized, and soon built a church. All three societies have good buildings.

There is a graded school at Hillsborough. The building used was once a storehouse, and was, about four years ago, repaired and made over to accommodate the district.

In 1876, John Taylor and Robert Carter built a flour-mill here. It has had a successful run, and is now owned by Carter individually.

Hillsborough Lodge, No. 373, I.O.O.F., was organized here in October 1877.

The charter members were Daniel Wood, W.J. Newbold, R.P. Kimes, W.E. Elerton and J.R. Davidson.
