History

The town was founded in the 1820's and was originally called New Providence, after the capital of Rhode Island. In the late 1800's the Borden Institute was founded by John Borden as a college. The town honored him by renaming the town, unoffically, Borden. The town became offically known as Borden in 1994. In the 1960's several dams were constructed along the tributaries leading to Muddy Fork, which runs through the town. This helped keep Borden from being flooded during heavy rains. On April 3, 1974, a massive F4 tornado struck the west side of Borden before moving into nearby Daisy Hill, overlooking Borden, killing one person. And on May 27, 2004, an F2 tornado struck the northern edge of the town, doing damage to the trees on the hillside but fortunately no deaths or injuries. In the early 2000's Borden High School underwent an expansion project that involved a new building being built on their parking lot. A new parking lot was needed and it was decided to build it at the old Borden Park. The town then built a new park on the east end of Borden, near the Flexcel plant, along Muddy Fork. It includes basketball courts, a walking path along the fork, and a war memorial for local residents who served in the military.
