Beginnings: About 360 years ago, the Mohenes sold this prized real estate to English settlers for assorted coats, utensils and wampum. Then the Indians watched as the English drove out the Dutch in the battle for ownership in 1663. The name comes from the mill Henry Townsend built in 1661 with a grant from his fellow freeholders.
