North Andover originally was the political and religious center of a larger 17th century settlement which today would includeAndover, North Andover, and the eastern part of Lawrence. First called Cochiechewick Plantation for the tall trees and rivers, the area was reserved by the General Court in 1634 for an inland plantation; the first settlement was established in 1643 by residents of the coastal towns of Ipswich and Newbury. Although there were boundary changes throughout the 18th century, it was not until 1855 that Andover split into two separate towns, Andover and North Andover. North Andover includes the Old Center, location of the "Old North Church" where the the North Parish practiced, as well as Lake Cochiechwick, the main watersource for the plantations. A fierce rivalry between the two towns still exists today, which commenced when outraged southwestern Andoverians refused to walk all the way to the Old North Church which they felt was in no way central to the Cochiechewick Plantation, which it wasn't. They proceeded to build their own church central to what is now the township of Andover. This article is about the Massachusetts town. ...
