Salisbury
The Town of Salisbury was incorporated in 1741. The Congregational meeting house, built 1749-1751, in the exact center of the town, survives as the core of the present Town Hall. The original agrcultural settlement was rich in iron ore deposits, including Ore Hill Mine, Lakeville, opened 1731. Lamb's forge and furnace were built in Lime Rock, 1734. The first blast furnace in Connecticut was built in Lakeville in 1762, and the Riga forge and furnace in 1802.
The Salisbury iron industry, which lasted until the early 1900's, contributed to the success of the Revolution, the War of 1812, and the development of railroads, industry, and agrculture.
