This village was named for pioneer Parker families who owned land in the area in 1659. The story behind the neck was when Gen. Benedict Arnald, at the start of the March to Qubecce in Sept 1775, visited John Parker who was living on the neck at the time sat and consuming a rum toddy together. Parker's grave is one of the 19 known Revolutiony war site in Phippsburg.
