The theme for the parade for 2011 is "Joining Yarmouth in Celebrating 250 Years of Community"


Anything historical about Argyle woud be great  The book by Jackson Ricker "Historical Sketches of Glenwood and the Argyles" has a lot of information about our area. 


Interesting fact from that book "The old people alway claim that the first settlers from New Hampshire came here one year before the settlement of Yarmouth, which would make the year 1760 the year of their settlement of Abuptic".


Sea captains, shipyards and shipuilding of schooners,brig,barques, railroad, postoffices and mailserve, hotels, Argyle, militia, government representives, churches, schools,millstones, Goose bay dyke, stonewalls, shoemakes just to name a few of the things about our history. 


First settler names were: Frosts, Spinney, Roberts, Ricker, Nickerson, Randall, Goodwin
