BELLINGHAM, 16.2 m. (town, alt. 240, pop. 3056, sett, about 1713, incorp. 1719), when settled by Jacob Bartlett, was called No Man's Land. The town was settled around the Congregational Church and much of its earliest history is identified with that institution. The production of leather and textiles became important to the town after 1800.
