TOWN REPORTS

A Little Bit of E.K. History

Written by the Historical Society - 2019
East Kingston became a town in November of 1738. East Kingston was once a part of Kingston called Kingston East Parish, but was granted a separate charter in 1738 by Governor Jonathan Belcher. Several residents of East Kingston had petitioned Governor Belcher that its location was too distant from the Kingston school and place of worship.
The town grew up around the saw and grist mill at the Trickling Falls on the edge of Powwow Pond. Farms prospered on the good soil, and ice-cutting in the river was a thriving winter business before the age of refrigeration. The New England Brick Company was once a principal industry.
Agriculture is still a big part of the fabric that makes East Kingston what it is today. A few family farms that have been passed down through generations are still active, as well as many new businesses that are both agricultural or industrial based. The once active train depot was a big part of our history. It connected East Kingston to the world. Although it is no longer an active depot, it is a great reminder of our past.
Through preserving our past, together we can build a community of pride and a brighter future for our beloved town of East Kingston.
