Stone wharf and warehouse were built here by Decree of General Assembly in 1744. Remains of wharf can be seen. Officer's chests left behind by two Companies of Royal American Regiment quartered in winter of 1756-1757 were auctioned by town commissioners circa 1759. During Revolutionary War this was major supply depot for American armies. In 1813 British troops destroyed earthworks built to guard wharf and town.
