[Dover was settled in 1623. Its citizens, like those of Strawberry Bank and Exeter, early adopted a form of town and provincial government of their own. Dover was annexed to Massachusetts, by vote of its citizens, Oct. 9, 1641. The early town and provincial books were destroyed soon after the annexation to Massachusetts. Dover's oldest town book now in existence was begun Dec. 27, 1647; it has the following town rate which is the earliest tax rate of Dover now on record.]
