Ex-Mayor Thomas Brown may be considered the father of the town, he projected the first roads and bridges.
The Thames and tributary rills, / Here they do drive numerous mills, / Enabling millers to compete / To pay high price for oats and wheat.
Here streams do drive many a wheel / For to grind both flour and oatmeal, / And town will extend its boundaries / With its enterprising foundries.
For fine pianos town is famed / And highest rank for them is claimed, / And brighter days for it yet dawns / With its grand mansions and fine lawns, / And it has now the title grand / The capital of dairyland.
