Harvard was first settled in 1704. Part of the town originally belonged to "The Plantation of Groton," but broke away and incorporated in 1732 (it is uncertain how the town obtained its name). The town economy was primarily based on agriculture until the middle of the 20th century. This past is most prominently visible in the number of apple orchards. It is now a residential town within reach, for example, of the technology companies outside of Boston. It has had a relatively quiet history, but has attracted several "non-traditional" communities that have given its history some flavor. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
