The Colorful History of Essex, CT
First settled in 1635, life for the few original families banding together centered around the sea and the church. Slowly but surely, they not only survived but thrived. Shipbuilding was the main economy of the area. During the War of 1812, between President Jefferson’s embargo and the British blockade of the river, ships weren’t selling. To counter this, local shipbuilders began constructing blockade runners known as privateers. They would sneak past the blockade, bringing back contraband to sell to stay afloat.

Septic Cleaning in Hollis, New Hampshire
The Gorgeous Town of Hollis, New Hampshire
Hollis is a quiet, rural town, yet right next to Nashua and within an hour’s drive of Boston. You can enjoy a picnic and swim at Silver Lake, buy something unusual at the Sunday Flea Market, or get fresh, locally grown vegetables at any of the town’s farm stands. In winter there’s local cross-country skiing, and it’s not far to the White Mountains. It’s not the big city, though, and residents have to deal with their own water and leach fields. Don’t worry, though. We’re ready to help out, so schedule your septic pumping in Hollis, New Hampshire today!
The History of Hollis, New Hamshire
The history of the town dates back to before the American Revolution. When John Boynton brought the news of the fighting at Lexington, 92 men assembled at the town common and joined the forces that ultimately drove the Redcoats out. Three of them lost their lives at Bunker Hill. Those were the days before indoor plumbing, septic services, and septic repairs. Almost everyone lived on a farm, so waste didn’t go to waste.
In the early nineteenth century, Hollis was a minor mill town, with six sawmills and five grain mills in 1820. No rivers go through the town, so it didn’t get the industrial development which Nashua and Manchester, NH enjoyed (or perhaps endured). With septic pumping still a thing of the future, though, its streams had to carry waste to the Nashua and Merrimack Rivers, adding to their pollution. Today those streams are clean again and form a pleasant part of the town’s landscape.
It was the middle of the nineteenth century before indoor plumbing became common. After that, people had to put up with little nuisances like clogged drains, but the town became considerably cleaner. Today, the smell of fertilizer is confined to the town’s many farmlands. Thanks in part to indoor plumbing and septic cleaning, Hollis has a twenty-first-century cleanliness to go with its old New England heritage.

Let’s spotlight professional waste management that we provide for Milford.
Life In Milford, NH
Milford, NH, founded in 1794, has a rich history. Its name was derived from a mill built on a ford on the Souhegan River. It was nicknamed “The Granite City” due to a large number of high-quality granite quarries in highest operation from 1850 to 1930, though only one remained as of 2017. Milford was a prime stop on the underground railroad. It was also the home of Harriet E Wilson, the first female African American novelist published in the US in 1859.
Today, with a population just over 15,000, Milford remains the manufacturing and retail center of a six-town area. Although too large now to know “everyone in town”, it remains quintessential small-town America that Normal Rockwell so aptly portrayed in his works. One of the highlights of the year for residents is the annual Pumpkin Festival each October.
