Boston town meeting approves the first long-standing committee
- When
- October 1772
- Where
- Boston town meeting
Massachusetts colonists established the first long-standing committee of correspondence with the approval of a town meeting in October 1772, before the November committee formation.
The town meeting approval established the first long-standing committee of correspondence in Massachusetts. The passages supply only the month, October 1772, with no exact day. This approval preceded the November 1772 formation of a committee by Samuel Adams, Joseph Warren, and Mercy Otis Warren described in the passages; the two developments are distinct and sequential. The legacy row's November 2, 1772 date is not passage-supported.
