History
In 1744 David Priest accepted a warrant of a 400-acre land tract, which was sold in 1756 to the Willis family. In 1807, Henry Mosser and William Culbertson laid out the village into 120 lots. A ferry, originally owned and operated by John Harris Jr., was operated in New Market continuously through multiple owners and eventually the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from 1740 until about 1820.
