Formerly formed the border between MA and NH (surveyed in the 1650s -
the articles present different possible dates 1656, 1657, 1659 as to
the actual marking of the border). Later on, from 1768 to 1953, the
rock served as the tripoint marker between the New Hampshire towns of
Hampton, Hampton Falls, and Seabrook. Now it is on the the Hampton-
Seabrook boundary.

(The 2nd article from 1971 claims it as the 2nd oldest bordermarker
in the US.)
