The [http://www.andoverbaptist.org Andover Baptist Church] was formed in 1833. The building was erected in 1834. To finance the building the basement was mortgaged to the grocer T. A. Holt. In 1923 the Church bought the mortgage and remodeled the space for Sunday School rooms.  
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 Rev. Lyndon Myers was installed in 2004.
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.
