| | RDM:Indian Str Rep (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, while governments, politicians, and entrepreneurs argued about the boundary between northern New England and British Canada, a group of hardy individuals were otherwise occupied, carving a life in the wooded frontier that would come to be known as Indian Stream. |
 | | The Treaty of Paris ending the American Revolution set the United States boundary at "the northwesternmost head of the Connecticut River," but with three streams feeding into that head, conflict was inevitable. |
 | | In 1832, they declared themselves the independent Indian Stream Republic, establishing a constitution, a bicameral legislature, courts, laws, and a militia. |
