Berlin was first settled in 1665 and was officially incorporated in 1812, the Town was a residential and agricultural community, growing mixed hay grains and raising cattle. The Town’s name is pronounced with the stress on the first syllable. Today Berlin is a pleasing mix of past and present. It continues to embrace its tradition as it sets in motion plans for its future.
