History

An early settler, George Ward, purchased Шаблон:Convert of land at Good Intent in 1701 and erected small mills.[3]

A cloth mill was erected in 1829. The three-story building was destroyed by fire in 1840, but was soon rebuilt. About eight years later it burned down again, and was again rebuilt.[3] A mail stage coach began service in 1834 "to leave Good Intent every morning, Sundays excepted".[3]Шаблон:Rp

In 1836, a factory was established at Good Intent which manufactured handles for pitch forks and shovels. The raw lumber was brought in on scows, and the finished product was transported to Philadelphia.[3]

The Good Intent Church was noted to exist during the 1840s.[3]

An improved road to Good Intent was built from Williamstown (then called "Squankum") in 1853.[4]
