It is thought that Alna was settled around 1760, and incorporated as New Milford on June 25, 1794. The residents of the town were unsatisfied with this name so, in 1811, a special town meeting was called for the purpose of selecting a more descriptive name for the town; the name Alna was chosen, from the Latin alnus for alder, since there were many alder trees growing along the banks of the Sheepscot River. This category lists sites related to the town, or to people, places, businesses, or organizations within the town.
