"The prevailing Soil is loam and clay; the rest of it is light. It is in general fertile in its productions, though, on account of its depth and moisture, it is commonly late in bringing them to maturity. Limestone is to be had in abundance, on almost every farm, with plenty of peats at a moderate distance for converting it to the purposes of building or agriculture." Old Statistical Account
