Note: A selectman was said to be : “The office of selectman, unlike some other offices in colonial America, was not imported from England, but gradually evolved in New England. From the beginning, the selectmen exercised the general power to superintend the concerns of the town. Originally, they only implemented the decisions of the frequent town meetings which were held to decide nearly every detail of town business. As town meetings became more formal and were held at less frequent intervals, the selectmen acquired more discretionary power.“
