Otis before 1810 was known as the town of Loudon and the district of Bethlehem. Loudon was established February 27, 1773 from Tyringham Equivalent. Bethlehem, formerly the North Eleven Thousand Acres, was incorporated 24 June 1789. In 1809, Bethlehem was united with Loudon. Finally, in 1810, the name of Loudon was changed to Otis.

The Otis vital records include nine volumes of data and three volumes of indexes. For the earliest years there are three volumes of vital records (fiches 1-11) and five volumes of town records (fiches 12-41). From 1844 to 1892 there are three separate indexes (fiches 42-47) and one volume of births, marriages and deaths.

First Book of Records of Town of Otis (Loudon) 1777-1804.
