History
Settlers began arriving in the region shortly after 1800, but many left permanently to Vermont and New Hampshire during the War of 1812, leaving only five families in the town, who often survived off of venison due to difficulty reclaiming farmland at the time. A state road constructed through the region in 1827 helped renew settlement of Lawrence.
The town was formed in 1828 from parts of the Towns of Brasher and Hopkinton.
