"Boundary disputes among the early river settlers
caused this area to be called Bloody Point. By 1640 Trickey's Ferry operated between Bloody Point
and Hilton's Point in Dover. In 1712 the meeting-house was erected and the parish set off, named
Newington for the English village, whose residents sent the bell for the meeting-house. About
1725 the parsonage was built near the town forest, considered one of the oldest in America."
