History

The town was officially incorporated as Monroe Township in March of 1859, with Williamstown as meeting place to vote and have town discussions. In the early eighteenth century, Richard Penn sold what eventually became Williamstown to his grandson, John Williams, who divided and resold the land in lots to settlers and for whom the town was eventually renamed. The first company to form was called Free Will Glass Manufacturing and caused a population surge. The first school was built in 1750 and stood where the Washington Hotel now stands. The local schools operated on a pay-as-you-go basis until the 1850s and were predominantly church-run.
