Gill Information and History
Gill has a town website. Quick links on the site include: About Gill, Departments, Committees, and Calendar.
From wikipedia:
Gill was first settled in 1776 and was officially incorporated in 1793. The town is named in honor of Moses Gill, a member of Massachusetts’ Executive Council who became lieutenant governor in 1794 and acting governor in 1799 when Governor Increase Sumner died.
The first town meeting was held December 18, 1793, with Moses Bascom as moderator. Elected officers were Moses Bascom Jr. as town clerk and treasurer, Moses Bascom, William Smalley and Noah Munn as selectmen and assessors, and David Squires as constable.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 14.8 square miles (38.3 km2), of which 13.7 square miles (35.6 km2) is land and 1.0 square mile (2.7 km2), or 6.96%, is water.
Gill is located on the west bank of the Connecticut River, which flows along the town’s eastern and southern edges. The river forms most of the town’s boundary with Northfield, to the east, and separates the town from Erving to the southeast, and Montague to the south. The Fall River, a small tributary, forms the boundary with Greenfield to the southwest. Continuing clockwise, the town shares land boundaries with Bernardston in the northwest, and a portion of Northfield to the north.
The campus of Northfield Mount Hermon School is located in the Mount Hermon section of the town.
