The town of Hanover; chartered in 1761; began as a sleepy; idyllic community nestled in the Upper Connecticut River Valley. In 1770; noted Connecticut minister Eleazar Wheelock chose to relocate his school; Dartmouth College; to a virgin wilderness corner of the struggling young township. In spite of hardships; within several years Wheelock and his small college had taken root on the Hanover Plain; joining together with the local community that would come to be known as the "Village at the College." Over the next two centuries; the college and the village would grow together in triumph and tragedy; rich in history and events; to become a special place revered by generations of alumni and residents alike.

I figured this one would be chock-full of wonderful stories and history. But unfortunately. its more about celebrities who lived in Bayside than about Bayside itself.
