Founders of Hingham, Massachusetts
Hingham was the twelfth town incorporated in Massachusetts, on Sept. 2, 1635. There had been settlers there as early as 1633, who called the place "Barecove," but it was renamed after the origin in England of many of its early settlers, who were forced to flee their native village in Norfolk with both their vicars, Rev. Peter Hobart and Rev. Robert Peck, when they fell foul of the strict doctrines of Anglican England.
