Town of Somerville

Somerville is town in Lincoln County, incorporated on March 25, 1858 from Patricktown Plantation. The plantation had existed at least since 1813. On April 17, 1937, in the depth of the Depression, the town surrendered its organization. It returned to its status as a town on February 6, 1974.

Somerville is east of Windsor on Route 105, and north of Jefferson following Route 206 to 105. This rural town has had a small, relatively stable population since the mini-boom of the 1970's.
