Spencer was first settled in 17(A)7 by Nathaniel Wood, and first permanently settled by Samuel Bemis in 17(B)1. It was officially incorporated on April (C)2, 175(D), splitting from the town of Leicester. Spencer was named after the then-acting governor of Massachusetts, Spencer Phips. In 178(E), Spencer was a major stopping place on the Old Boston Post Road's stage route between Boston and Hartford, and on to New York. Colonial-era milestone markers show the route to which both Gen. Henry Knox and George Washington once traversed. Spencer's first mill was built in 1(F)40 on the (G) Mile River, the greatest source of waterpower in the town. At one time, Spencer had 1(H) factories and 2(I) buildings for wire drawing. In 1888–18(J)9, four prominent citizens (David Prouty, Richard Sugden, Luther Hill and Nathaniel Myrick) presented the town with a new high school, a library, a public park and the Spencer Agricultural Fair Grounds.
