About Ware, MA

Ware was first settled on Equivalent Lands in 1717 and was officially incorporated in 1775. It is named after the English town of Ware in Hertfordshire. In 1716 a tract of land which was a little more than 11,000 acres (4,500 ha) in size was granted to John Read. He named it "The Manour of Peace" and had it in mind to develop in the style of an English manor, anticipating that it would later become a very valuable country estate. He leased out the land and did not sell 1-acre (4,000 m 2) until after his death, when he gave a gift of 200 acres (0.81 km 2) to serve as a ministry lot.
