BACKSTORY

Newington was formerly part of Dover. Bloody Point on Newington’s tip got its name from the battle over who owned this land amongst river settlers in the 1600s. In the mid-1600s, a ferry began between Bloody Point & Hilton Park in Dover. In 1712, a meetinghouse was built, with a bell, that was sent by residents of an English village named Newington. The town of Newington takes pride in preserving its history and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with 110 acre Old Town Center and the oldest town forest in the U.S.
