In 1997 there was a proposal by a group of townspeople lead by Susan Dalton to create The Andover Classical Charter School to alleviate overcrowding in the Andover middle schools. The school was to use the Hirsch Goal Setting model. The proposed location was the Franciscan Center on River Road. The school was to be a Commonwealth Charter School (on that is not governed by local school committee) as opposed to a Horace Mann Charter School (governed by local school committee).
In the late 1880's Moses Stevens connected the Marland Mills - one in Andover, one in Haverhill, and one in North Andover - by telephone. This was the first telephone in Andover. Moses Stevens had bought Marland Mills from Abraham Marland in 1879.


The State Department of Education would not award a charter to the Andover Classical Charter School calling the teaching methods proposed too progressive.
In the 1958 dial telephones came to Andover.  The first exchange was Greenleaf (475).  Andover originally had a 617 area code.  It was first changed to 508 and finally to 978 in 1977.
