Founded in 1718 and incorporated in 1728, Lunenburg was named for the German duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg in honor of King George II. Its early economy centered on farming, sawmills, and orchards, which shaped the town through the mid-20th century. A memorable chapter in local history is Whalom Park, an amusement park that operated from 1893 to 2000 and became a beloved regional landmark. Today, historic buildings, village centers, and preserved landscapes reflect Lunenburg’s layered past and continuing sense of heritage.
