350th Anniversary Celebration Committee

The 350th Anniversary Celebration Committee is a special committee appointed by the Board of Selectmen to organize celebrations for the Town of Dunstable's upcoming 350th Anniversary of incorporation.

Dunstable was incorporated on October 15, 1673 and once comprised 200 square miles extending from Londonderry, New Hampshire, to Chelmsford, Massachusetts. It was originally incorporated upon the petition of 26 proprietors of land along the Merrimack. During the 1700s, section after section broke off until 15 separate towns were formed, leaving Dunstable the just under 17 square miles it is today. The original town was named in honor of Mrs. Edward Tyng, who emigrated from Dunstable in Bedfordshire, England. The Tyngs were among the early settlers of the land purchased from the Wamisit and Naticook Indians in 1661 for £20 sterling. To this day Dunstable, MA continues to have close ties to Dunstable, UK including the continued exchange of gifts and formal greetings by the two governments.
