WHERE WE
I
f you are living here, or consid-
ering a move to the area, you
are striking up a hometown
relationship with a very special
region.
The Merrimack Valley of Mas-
sachusetts and Southern New
Hampshire is rich with history, oppor-
tunities for recreational pursuits, a
state-of-the-art educational network,
and cutting-edge businesses.
Simply put, this is where country
charm meets urban chic.
Take a day-trip some weekend in
one direction and you are on the gor-
geous shores of the Atlantic Ocean,
relaxing with a good book on the
beach, sunbathing, or playing games
along the boardwalk.
Drive another way, and youre
downtown Boston, taking in a Broad-
way touring show, eating at a celeb-
rity chefs restaurant, and strolling
through historical trails or a bustling
shopping district.
Head in still another direction and
you are in the lakes and mountain
regions of New Hampshire, where
hiking, biking, camping, boating,
skiing and snowboarding are just
a few of the activities awaiting the
adventurous.
Then again, you might choose to
stay home for the weekend. And why
not? As youll fnd thumbing through
the pages of this publication, theres
far from any shortage of things to do
right here in your own backyard.
Yes, each of the communities we
represent offers a unique personal-
ity and a hardy welcome to visitors
and friends. Few places can claim the
New England camaraderie that exists
here; that dynamic everyone is look-
ing for and few people can fnd.
The lifestyle, the schools, the close-
knit communities, the businesses --
and heck, yes even the weather (you
know if you dont like it and stick
around for a couple hours, it really
will change) .... These are the things
that make us proud to say, This is
where we live.

ANDOVER INCORPORATED 1646
With two major highways and two rail stops, Andover is a perfect town for commuters. The town is
23 miles north of Boston, and offers easy access to the city via I-93 and I-495.
In 2010, Andover was home to just over 33,000 residents, 35 percent of whom are over 50 years of
age. Despite having a large population of baby boomers, Andover also appeals to young families.
The town has six public elementary schools, three middle schools and a high school that are among
the most well-respected in the area. Playgrounds, parks and an active Department of Community Ser-
vices ensure that Andover residents have plenty to do.

WHERE WE LIVE 3
Like many towns in New
England, Andover has a rich
history. The town was settled
in 1636, and incorporated in
1646.
Andover is famous around
the world as the home to
Phillips Academy, one of the
most prestigious private high
schools in the country. The
school was founded by Samuel
Philips in 1770 and currently
has 1,100 students. Samuel
Francis Smith wrote the well-
known patriotic song Amer-
ica in 1831 while attending
the Andover Theological
Seminary.
Downtown Andover offers
a vibrant shopping and dining
community today, with local
favorites and national chains.

ATKINSONINCORPORATED 1767
Atkinson gets its name from a man who never
actually lived in the town. Col. Theodore Atkinson
was a respected commander during the French
and Indian wars. After the wars, Atkinson was a
customs offcer in Portsmouth, before becoming
secretary of the New Hampshire Colony.
Atkinson is a small rural town in southern New
Hampshire made up of just 11.3 square miles. In
2007, Atkinson had 6,572 residents.
The town originally was among land purchased
from Native Americans by settlers from nearby
Haverhill in 1645. Atkinson separated from
Plaistow in 1767, becoming its own entity.
Atkinson Academy was incorporated in 1787
and is the second oldest co-educational school in
the country. Today, Atkinson Academy is a public
school for students through grade fve.
Atkinson is part of the Timberlane Regional
School District, which also includes Danville,
Plaistow and Sandown. After Atkinson Acad-
emy, Atkinson students progress to Timberlane
Regional Middle School and Tiberlane Regional
High School in Plaistow.
Atkinson Recreation Department organizes
community events, including weekly farmers
markets between June and October. The town
also has conservation land with hiking trails, and
a public canoe launch into Big Island Pond.

The Beehive Hut is a historical attraction that isnt particularly well
known, but has enthralled Danville residents for years.
The hut is located in the woods off Hershey Road and is marked with a
sign. It is made from stones piled on top of each other, with a large stone
slat for a roof. No one knows when the structure was built, or by whom.
Historians theorize that the hut may have been
used by early settlers who were hunting or shep-
herdingtheir focks to Boston. Some people also
think that the structure may be related to the
structures at Americas Stonehenge in nearby
Salem. Some of those structures are more than
4,000 years old.
Danville was incorporated in 1760 under the
name of Hawke, after an offcer in the British Navy.
In 1836, the town was renamed Danville.
The Town Meeting house is reputed to be the
oldest original-construction meeting house in New
Hampshire.
Just over 4,400 residents call Danville home,
according to the 2011 census. Children in kin-
dergarten through fiftth grade attend Danville
Elementary School, while older students attend
Timberlane Middle and High schools in Plaistow,
as part of the Timberlane Regional School
District.

DERRY INCORPORATED 1827
Derry was settled in 1719 by a group of 16 Presbyterian families who fed Northern Ireland.
When the families arrived in Boston, they were not welcomed by the Colonists. They were, however,
granted land in what was then the northern wilderness.
In 1722, the town was incorporated under the name of Londonderry. It covered what is now Wind-
ham, Derry, Londonderry and parts of surrounding towns. Gradually the towns separated. In 1827
Derry was incorporated under its current name.
Interstate route to revival
By Kelly Burch
Derry has grown rapidly since the
1963 with the opening of I-93, which links
the town to Boston and Northern New
Hampshire.
Derry has more than 34,000 resi-
dents, fve times the number who lived
there before the highway opened. The
town now houses many apartment
units and industrial parks, which sup-
port the booming population.
Derry offers many activities to
residents, with an active Recreation
Department and several parks and
playgrounds.
Robert Frost, the celebrated Ameri-
can poet, lived with his family in Derry
from 1900 to 1911. The Robert Frost
Farm is a National Historical Land-
mark that is open to the public. The
farm offers tours, displays and read-
ings that educate the public about
Frost, his poetry and life in Derry.

GEORGETOWN INCORPORATED 1838
Georgetown was incorporated in 1838, but the area had been home to colonists for more than 200
years before that.
Today, Georgetown is home to just more than 8,000 residents who live in the 13 square miles of
town. Georgetown is 28 miles north of Boston, and has easy access to the city by I-95. However, the
town has no mass transit, with the closest commuter rail station located in Rowley.
Plagued by blazes, and home
to the oldest private fire co.
By Kelly Burch
Georgetown is not part of
a regional school district and
all students in town attend
one of three schools: Perley
Elementary School, Penn
Brooke Elementary School,
and Georgetown Middle-High
School. The school colors are
blue and white, and the mas-
cot is the Royals, represented
by a knight.
Thr oughout i t s hi s-
t ory, Georget own has
been plagued by fires. The
first occurred in 1874 and
destroyed a number of East
Main Street properties,
including residences, fac-
tories and stores. The town
responded by building an
$8,000 fre house and invest-
ing in a steam fre engine.
El even years l ater i n
1885, another fire ripped
through town, killing three
residents and destroying
more property. In 1898 more
Main Street properties were
destroyed by fre.
Georgetown had more fres
in 1901,1915, 1920 and 1935.
They destroyed schools and
other important parts of the
infrastructure.
Not surprisingly, the town
is home to the Erie Fire
Association No. 4, which is
the oldest privately owned
fire company in the United
States.
John Updike, the well-
known novelist, lived in
Georgetown from 1976 to
1982, and the town appears
in his novel, Rabbit is Rich.

HAMPSTEAD INCORPORATED 1749
Hampstead is located 45 miles north of Boston and 30 miles south of
Concord, N.H. The town has about 8,500 residents, who live across the 13.4
square miles of the town.
During the summer, the population rises signifcantly, as summer resi-
dents and campers fock to town to take advantage of three lakes in Hamp-
stead: Big Island Pond, Sunset Lake and Angle Pond.
Summer escape and
year-round living
By Kelly Burch
Hampstead originally was part
of Haverhill and Amesbury. How-
ever, when the border between
Massachusetts and New Hamp-
shire was solidifed in 1749, the
town was incorporated.
Town residents take pride in
the local history. The Historical
Society maintains hand-writ-
ten information on every town
resident that served during
WWII. It also boasts that Hamp-
stead High School was one of the
frst public high schools in the
country.
Many students in Hamp-
stead attend Hampstead Cen-
tral School, Hampstead Middle
School and Pinkerton Academy,
which serves the communities of
Derry, Hampstead, Auburn and
Chester. Pinkerton Academy is a
private secondary school, but it
has contracts with these towns
to provide an education to all
of their students. Hampstead
Academy is a small, co-educa-
tional private school in town for
students in preschool through
grade 8.

HAVERHILL INCORPORATED 1870
The city of Haverhill is known as The Shoe City, because of the massive shoe manufacturing
industry that dominated the economy for more than 180 years.
After being abandoned for decades, many of the 19th-century mill buildings that still dominate the
downtown are being converted into shops, restaurants and apartment buildings.
Shoe city takes steps
toward new life
By Kelly Burch
Haverhill was settled in 1640 as
Pentucket and was not incorpo-
rated until 1870.
Today, it is one of the largest
cities in the Merrimack Valley,
straddling the Merrimack River
about 35 miles north of Boston.
It has more than 61,000 residents
and covers over 36 square miles
of land. The city has its own
school system, two commuter rail
stops and an active bus network.
The city offers plentiful recre-
ational activities. Winnekenni
Castle features miles of hiking
trails along Kenoza Lake, the
town water supply. Nearby Plug
Pond is open for residents to
boat, fsh and swim. In addition,
there are many smaller areas of
conservation land with trails set
throughout the city.
Throughout i ts hi story,
Haverhill has produced many
noteworthy people and prod-
ucts. The city was home to the
first store opened by Rowland
H. Macy, later the founder of
Macys department store. It was
the main inspiration for Bob
Montanas Archie comic strip.
Author Andre Dubus, singer
Brian Evans, poet John Green-
leaf Whittier, MLB player Carlos
Pena and musician Rob Zombie
all hail from Haverhill.

Austin Callahan of
Londonderry, with
his twin sister
Avery, shows off
his strawberries
he picked at
Sunnycrest Farm in
Londonderry.
LONDONDERRYINCORPORATED 1722
Londonderry gets its
name from the home-
town of the Irish-Scot-
tish settlers who frst
established the town in
the 18th century. Many
of these settlers left
homes in Londonderry,
Ireland. So when they
enacted a new town
charter on June 21,
1722, they named their
new home after the old.
Originally the town included
parts of Manchester, Hudson,
Windham, Salem and Derry.
However, over time many of these
areas were claimed by other
towns, leaving Londonderry with
42square miles of its own.
During the late 1700s, Lon-
donderry became known for the
linen that was produced in town.
George Washington and Thomas
Jefferson are reputed to have
worn Londonderry Linen, which
was touted as the best in New
England.
The linen was so popular that
many people claimed their prod-
uct was Londonderry Linen. To
combat this, the House of Repre-
sentatives passed legislation say-
ing that all linen manufactured
in Londonderry must have a seal
to show its authenticity.
Today, Londonderry is home to
more than 23,000 residents. Many
people live in the southeastern
part of town, which is near I-93
and N.H. Route 102. Businesses
are concentrated in this area,
or in the northern part of town,
which houses the Manchester-
Boston Regional Airport.
Stoneyfield Farms and Blue
Seal Feeds are two major brands
that are headquartered in
Londonderry.

MERRIMAC INCORPORATED 1876
While neighboring
towns upstream were
manufacturing shoes
and textiles in the 19th
century, Merrimac
became know for its
horse-drawn carriage
industry. Today, how-
ever, industry has been
forgotten in Merrimac,
a sleepy, suburban com-
munity with a rural feel.
Merrimac originally was
settled in 1638 as part of Salis-
bury, and spent most if its his-
tory known as West Parish of
Amesbury, or West Amesbury. In
1876, Merrimac separated from
Amesbury and became incorpo-
rated as its own town.
Today, I-495 cuts through
Merrimac. There are new sub-
divisions in town, but the 19th-
Century homes and acres of
farmland help maintain the rural
ambiance. Merrimacport is the
oldest section of town, originally
settled as a fshing village. This
area is on the Merrimack River,
and contains some of the most
desirable properties in town. It is
separated from the rest of town
by I-495.
Merrimac is home to about
6,300 residents and is is part
of the Pentucket School sys-
tem, which also includes West
Newbury and Groveland.
Lake Attitash is a small lake
that straddles Merrimac and
neighboring Amesbury. Merri-
mac has a public beach, called
Indian Head Park, that allows
residents access to the lake. The
lakes shore also has many pri-
vate homes.

Like many cities in

history.
The town was

after breaking away
from Haverhill. In

River, a tributary
of the Merrimack,
became a catalyst
for industry. The
largest mill was the

NO. ANDOVER INCORPORATED 1855
North Andover was singled out by early settlers in New England because of its access
to three bodies of water: the Merrimack River, the Shawsheen River and freshwater Lake
Cochichewick. The land was purchased from local natives in 1646 for six pounds and was
called Cochichewick Plantation.
The town was incorporated as Andover, after the English hometown of many of the
early residents. During these early years, North Andover was home to Americas frst
published poet, Anne Bradstreet.

Al though i t was cal l ed
Andover, the original settle-
ment was established in pres-
ent-day North Andover. As the
town grew, there was debate
over where the parishes should
be located. Ultimately two par-
ishes, North and South, were
established, and the communi-
ties continued to grow apart.
In 1855 the north parish sepa-
rated and was incorporated as
North Andover.
Today, North Andover is
made up of commercial, areas
as well as rural farmland. More
than 30,000 residents call North
Andover home.
North Andover also houses
a number of educational insti-
tutions. The North Andover
public school system, home of
The Knights, is well respected.
Merrimack College educates
over 2,000 college students a
year in North Andover. Brooks
School, a co-educational high
school on the shore of Lake
Cochichewick, educates over 340
students from around the world.

But instead of hitting a ball, disc golf players toss a disc (like a Frisbee)

PLAISTOW LISTINGS
Plaistow is in southern New
Hampshire, just about equal
distance from Boston and Con-
cord, N.H. The town originally
was part of Haverhill. For a long
time it was largely uninhab-
ited because of fears of Indian
attacks.
In the later half of the 18th
century, Plaistow began to be
settled.Back then, the landscape
was filled with farmland and
pastures.
The townseparated from
Haverhill when the land dispute
between Massachusetts and
New Hampshire was settled
in 1741. In 1749, the town was
incorporated as Plaistow. No
one knows why this name was
chosen. The only other town in
the world that share the name
is on the outskirts of London,
England.
As Route 125 has develped,
Plaistow has become a retail
hub for shoppers from the area
and for Massachusetts residents
looking for tax-free sales.
The town is home to about
7,600 residents, most of whom
live in neighborhoods. Few areas
in the town remain rural.
Plaistow is home to the Tim-
berlane Regional High School
and Timberlane Regional Middle
School, which it shares with the
neighboring towns of Atkinson,
Danville and Sandown

SALEM INCORPORATED 1750
Salem bills itself as The Gateway to New Hampshire, which is reasonable considering that the
states major highway, I-93, passes through this community.
Travelers coming into New Hampshire from Boston or other points south are likely to pass through
Salem, which was incorporated in 1750 and named for nearby Salem, Mass. The infux of travelers
has helped to promote Salem as a retail hub. It is home to the Rockingham Mall, the largest mall in
the area, as well as Route 28, a stretch of road that boasts nearly any shop imaginable. Weekendsfnd
hoards of Massachusetts shoppers looking to score tax-free deals from their favorite stores in Salem.

WHERE WE LIVE 30
As the towns motto -- Indus-
try, Commerce, Recreation
-- shows, Salem has more than
great shopping to offer its 29,000
residents. The Field of Dreams
is a popular playground located
in a wooded area near the town
offices. Hedgehog Park has
basketball and tennis courts,
horseshoe pits, swimming and a
playground.
The town is also home to
Canobie Lake Park, an amuse-
ment park located on the shore
of Canobie Lake. It was opened
in 1902 by the Massachusetts
Northeast Street Railway Com-
pany as a destination to encour-
age travel on the companys
trolleys. More than 100 years
later, Canobie Lake Park remains
a favorite destination for families
from throughout the Merrimack
Valley and beyond.

WINDHAM INCORPORATED 1742
For a quiet town, Windham gave birth to a big voice in Sully Erna, vocalist
and songwriter for the metal band Godsmack.
In other interesting town trivia, Windham, along with neighboring Derry
and Londonderry, originally was known as Nutfeld because of the large
number of nut trees that were found in the area.

Your guide to area professionals throughout the
Merrimack Valley and southern New Hampshire
Although Lawrence had a sig-
nifcant population and industry
by the 1800s, the city was not
incorporated until 1853. Prior
to that, the mill community
was known as the New City,
Essex, and Merrimac.
Ultimately the city was called
Lawrence, after Abbot Lawrence,
a politician and early investor in
the mills.
In 1912, 23,000 mill workers
went on strike in Lawrence to
protest a cut to their pay. The
strike lasted for two months,
with National Guardsmen and
local police called in to restore
order. When the police offcers
beat women and children try-
ing to leave Lawrence, the mill
owners realized that they had
lost public sympathies and were
able to come to an agreement
with the striking workers.
The Bread and Roses strike,
as it is known, forever altered
American labor laws.
Today, Lawrence is home to
more 76,000 residents, many of
whom come from Caribbean and
Latin American countries. The
2010 census found that 73.8 epr-
cent of Lawrences population is
Latino.
Although much of the indus-
try that defined Lawrence has
left the city, 35 percent of the
local economy is still manufac-
turing-based. Large companies
including Malden Mills (maker of
Polartec) and New Balance main-
tain factories in Lawrence.
