NEWBURY

On May 6, 1635, the plantation called Wessacucon was established as "Neweberry." It derived its name from Newbury, Berkshire, England, and was so named in honor of the Rev. Thomas Parker, who had preached for some time in Newbury, England, before his emigration to America. The town comprised all the territory now included in the city of Newburyport, the towns of West Newbury and Newbury, and the larger part of the parish of Byfield. On Jan 28, 1764, Newburyport was set off from Newbury. On Feb. 18, 1819, a part of Newbury was established as Parsons, which name was changed, on June 14, 1820, to West Newbury.

The population of Newbury at different periods has been as follows:

1765,	2,960	1810,	5,176	1850,	4,426
1776,	3,239	1820,	3,671	1895,	1,489
1790,	3,972	1830,	3,603	1900,	1,601
