The population was 1,154 at the 2010 census.[1] Settlements include the town center (Lempster village) and the village of East Lempster. HistoryFirst granted by colonial governor Jonathan Belcher in 1735 as Number 9 (ninth in a line of forts to guard against Indian attacks), it was regranted in 1753 as Dupplin, after Scottish lord Thomas Hay, Viscount Dupplin, by Governor Benning Wentworth. The town was re-granted one final time in 1767 as Lempster, after one of the titles of a Sir Thomas Farmer of "Lempster"[2] (presumably Leominster in England), and incorporated in 1772.
