Marlborough Becomes Exporter of Cider and Brandy
What occurred
After the Queen Anne’s War in 1713, farming in Marlboro began to reach new markets. The settlers grew out of subsistence methods and started using nature to their advantage for economic gains. The most prominent farming activity in Marlborough was focused on apple orchards. Cider and brandy became Marlborough’s largest exported goods throughout the 18th century and sparked the market revolution in Marlborough.
