Explore the history of a New Hampshire town through its people, places, and preserved records. This detailed volume traces Brookline’s development from early settlement to the present, tying local events to state history with careful use of original language and public documents. Readers will encounter a rich mix of narrative, genealogies, and town records that illuminate how a small community shaped its own story over generations.
This nonfiction work blends narrative with primary sources to show how a town evolves through details big and small—from boundary changes and town meetings to the lives of families who built its streets and institutions. It acknowledges the challenges of compiling complete family records, yet preserves what was collected to help readers understand local heritage within a broader New Hampshire context.

Excerpt from History of Brookline, Formerly Raby, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire: With Tables of Family Records and Genealogies
This history of Brookline is the culmination of long continued desires on the part of its inhabitants that the acts and annals of the early settlers in the town, as well as those of the generations succeeding them, in order that they should inure to the edification and benefit of the generations yet to come, should be preserved in some durable and permanent form.
Its preparation for publication was authorized by a vote of the citizens at a town meeting holden on the 13th day of March, 1906. At the same meeting the selectmen were authorized to appoint a history committee consisting of five citizens. The selectmen subsequently appointed the committee, and, soon after its appointment, the committee arranged with the undersigned to prepare the history for publication.
In presenting the completed work to his old time fellow citizens and to the public in general, for their and its approval, or disapproval, as the case may be, the compiler has but little to say by way of introduction.
For him the work of preparing it has been a labor of love; and now that his task is completed, he can only hope that it will not turn out to be a case of loves labor lost.
In the labor attendant upon its preparation, from beginning to end, the compiler has been actuated by a desire to produce a record history of the town. A history which, so far as possible, should depict the characteristic qualities of its people, as those qualities have been exhibited in their acts and procedure during the years of the town's existence.
With that end in view, the materials used in its compilation have, for the main part, been taken from the town's official books of records, the unofficial accounts, published and unpublished, of the acts of, and incidents happening to, its people; and from such of its traditions as, having survived the lapse of years, have come down to the present generation stamped with such marks of authenticity as would seem to render them worthy of preservation.
