Frye Village was named after Samuel Frye who built a saw and grist mill in 1718 where Haverhill Street crosses the Shawsheen River. In 1837 Smith and Dove had their flax mill in the same location. Frye Village eventually became Shawsheen Village when William Wood built his model corporate community, 1919 to 1926.
