Plat of Bellingham

Plat of Bellingham

April 24, 1883

1883-04-24

Austin and Shepard were the surveyors of the town of Bellingham, for which a plat was filed for record on April 24, 1883, on behalf of Edward and Theresa Eldridge, the owners of the property. Located on the Morrison and Pattle donation claims -- note the misspelling of Pattle -- the town of Bellingham was never incorporated, and it remained, until joined with Fairhaven in 1890, the smallest of the four Bellingham Bay settlements.
The grid is a north-south, east-west one, with north being to the left, rather than as usual the top of the the map. Front Street today is the Boulevard, and all the north-south, as well as many of the east-west streets, apart from Douglas, Fillmore, Taylor and Adams, have been renamed.
