On March 24, 1855, Isaac T. Goodnow, Luke P. Lincoln, C.H. Lovejoy, C. N. Wilson, Joseph Wintersaid, and N.R. Wright, all of whom were members of a committee of the New England Company formed in Boston, reached the site of present-day Manhattan and decided to plat the town of “Boston.” This group, in consultation with the Poleska and Canton residents, agreed to consolidate the three sites into one town called “Boston.” The various town sites included a log cabin built by Colonel Park for a blacksmith shop, a dug-out at the foot of Blue Mont, and a tent with protective sod walls pitched by Goodnow.
