Construction on a railroad to connect Andover to Wilmington began in 1835. The line was opened on August 8, 1836. In 1834 Haverhill requested and obtained authority to extend the line to Central Village in Haverhill. The line was extended through New Hampshire during the 1840's to the Maine border under the name of the Boston & Maine Railroad.
People used the railroad for day trips from Boston in the summer after the line was connected to Boston in 1846.
