Norwich was one of five cities in- corporated by the legislature -of the state in May, 1784. It included with. in the city iimits Bean Hill, the Falls, the Town-plot, the West Side, and Chelsea. The first mayor, was Ben- min Huntington, elected “for an in- lefinite term of years. Misg Caulkins says of him that he was a. “statesman of Incorruptible integrity, censpieucus for hix patriotic service in the town, state and general government. He. was a State Counsellor during the evolutionary war; _member of the ntinental Congress in 1784, and of the Constitutional Congress in 1789, and in 1795 was appointed Judge of the Superfor Court of Connectlcut” Judge Huntington held the office of mayor for twelve years, or until his resignation in 1796, His home was where the old road over the hill past the Fort Meeting house came into the Bean Hill road, now Wightman's switch. The Norwich Packet, under date of July 15, 1784, gives a notice of the meeting at which the first city officers were elected: “At a City Meeting held here the 43th and 14th instant, the following Gentlemen were chosen to the offices afixed to thelr respective names, viz.
