Regarding Nine Partners Monument. An Early History of Harford Township excerpt:
The area now known as Harford Township was first settled in 1790. Nine settlers (now known as the Nine Partners) from Attleborough Massachusetts, searching for a place to build their homes, were intrigued by the dense forests of beech, maple, chestnut, hickory and pine. They divided up a 2560 acre tract of land and built their homes and businesses.
