==History== The name Frith comes from the Old English fyrhoe, meaning wood or woody pasture. The first mention of Frith in historical records is in 1323 when it was called Le Frith; in 1512 it was referred to as "The Kings Frith beside Boston". Formerly extra-parochial land, Frithville was enclosed in 1802. This was one of seven new townships north of Boston that were organized in 1812.
