| Elizabeth Brook has played an important role in the history of the town of Stow. |
| It is believed that the earliest mill built in Stow was located on Elizabeth Brook, as a deed dated August 1681, two years before the town's establishment, conveys a parcel of land with a mill on "Assabath Brook"* from Jonathan Prescott to John Buttrick. |
| Taylor's Mill was also in operation on Elizabeth Brook by the 1730's and is still labeled as such on the 1830 town map. |
