You may already live
here. You may be new
to the area. Or you may
be considering a move
to the Merrimack Val-
ley or southern New
Hampshire.
Whatever your situa-
tion, you should know
that you are in or con-
sidering striking up a
hometown relationship
with one of thepre-
miere places to live in
America.
Here is where small
community charm
meets urban chic.
Take a weekend drive
in one direction and
youre in the Boston
area, taking in a touring
Broadway show, cruis-
ing the harbor,eating
food prepared by some
of the countrys top
chefs, and visiting his-
torical sites dating back
to the Revolutionary
Warand earlier.
Drive in another
direction and you are in
the lakes and mountain
regions of New Hamp-
shire, where the adven-
turous can ndgreat
boating, hiking, skiing,
snowboarding, biking,
camping and other
opportunities.
Drive toward the
mighty Atlantic, and
you will nd miles
and miles and miles
of pristine shoreline
in both states, for sun-
bathing,sandcastle
building, long romantic
strolls and the chance
to devour some of the
nest seafood avail-
able. (Oh, those New
Englandlobsters!)
You might choose,
however, to just stay
home most weekends.
And who can blame
you? Because as youll
nd perusing the
pagesof this publica-
tion, each and every
one of these towns and
cities has the kind of
community camara-
derie that everyones
lookingfor, but not
everyone is fortunate
enough to nd.
The lifestyle, the busi-
ness and leisure, the
great schools and so
much more. These are
the things that make
people here soproud to

The town was home
to the Bell family, which
included Charles H. Bell
(38th governor of New
Hampshire), John Bell
(12th governor of New
Hampshire) and Samuel
Bell (eighth Governor
of New Hampshire). In
addition, three sena-
tors, a justice to the
state Supreme Court
and a president of
Dartmouth College hail
from Chester.
Chester is a small town in
Rockingham County, near
Manchester. The town has a
population of more than 4,500,
according to the 2010 census,
and a land area of 26 square
miles.
The town was incorporated
in 1722, when 13 businessmen
from the Massachusetts Bay
Colony settled in town.
Today, Chester is largely
rural. The town encourages
conservation and maintains
the 105-acre Wason Pond
Conservation and Recre-
ation area, which is open to
resident who are interested
in taking advantage of the
outdoors.
Students in Chester attend
Chester Academy for elemen-
tary and middle school. High
School students attend Pinker-
ton Academy in Derry. Students
from Derry, Hampstead and
Auburn also attend Pinkerton
Academy.
There are few jobs in Ches-
ter, so most of the workforce
that lives in the town com-
mutes to jobs in other areas
of New Hampshire and in
Massachusetts.

DANVILLE INCORPORATED 1760
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 set-
tlers who were hunting
or shepherding their
ocks to Boston. Some
people also think that
the structure may be
related to the struc-
tures at Americas
Stonehenge in nearby
Salem. Some of those
structures are more
than 4,000 years old.
Danville was incorpo-
rated in 1760 under the
name of Hawke, after
an ofcer in the British
Navy. In 1836, the town
was renamed Danville.
The towns Town
Meeting house is
reputed to be the oldest
original-construction
meeting house in New
Hampshire.
More than 4,000 residents call
Danville home, according to the
2010 census. Children in kin-
dergarten through fth 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 fami-
lies who ed Northern Ireland.
When the families arrived
in Boston, they were not wel-
comed by the Colonists. They
were, however, granted land
in what was then the northern
wilderness.
In 1722, the town was incor-
porated under the name of
Londonderry. It covered what
is now Windham, Derry, Lon-
donderry and parts of sur-
rounding towns. Gradually the
towns separated. In 1827 Derry
was incorporated under its cur-
rent name.
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 33,000
residents, ve times the num-
ber 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
American poet, lived with his
family in Derry from 1900 to
1911. The Robert Frost Farm is
a National Historical Landmark
that is open to the public. The
farm offers tours, displays and
readings that educate the public
about Frost, his poetry and life
in Derry.

GEORGETOWNINCORPORATED 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 clos-
est commuter rail station located in
Rowley.
Georgetown is not part of a regional
school district and all students in town
attend one of three schools: Perley Ele-
mentary School, Penn Brook Elementary
School, and Georgetown Middle-High
School. The school colors are blue and
white, and the mascot is the Royals, repre-
sented by a knight.
Throughout its history, Georgetown has
been plagued by res. The rst 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 re house and investing
in a steam re engine.
Eleven years later in 1885, another re
ripped through town, killing three residents
and destroying more property. In 1898 more
Main Street properties were destroyed by
re.
Georgetown had more res 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.

GROVELAND INCORPORATED 1850
Groveland is a small
community located
on the banks of the
Merrimack River. It was
incorporated in 1850,
after being claimed rst
by Rowley and then by
Bradford (Haverhill).
The town is nearly
entirely residential, with
many residents work-
ing in nearby cities or
enjoying easy access to
Boston via I-95 or I-495.
Groveland has a popula-
tion of about 6,400.
Groveland has a sig-
nicant recreation area
located on the river.
Residents can launch

There are baseball and
soccer elds, basketball
courts and a hiking trail
along the river. There is
also a playground and a
dog park.
The city ofces, re and
police stations, and the library
all are located in this area.

open Town Meeting. It is part of
the Pentucket Regional School
District, which also serves stu-
dents from West Newbury and
Merrimac. Students attend the
local Bagnall Elementary School
before progressing to Pentucket
Middle and High schools.
Although they have long
since outgrown it, Groveland
residents still treasure the Little
Red School House, which was
built for the town in 1865 and
used by students until 1956.
Today, the school remains in its
original location and is home to
the Groveland Garden Club.

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
significantly, as summer residents and
campers ock to town to take advantage
of three lakes in Hampstead: Big Island
Pond, Sunset Lake and Angle Pond.
Hampstead originally was part of
Haverhill and Amesbury. However, when
the border between Massachusetts and
New Hampshire was solidied in 1749,
the town was incorporated.
Town residents take pride in the local
history. The Historical Society maintains
hand-written information on every town
resident that served during WWII. It also
boasts that Hampstead High School was
one of the rst public high schools in the
country.
Many students in Hampstead attend
Hampstead Central School, Hampstead
Middle School and Pinkerton Academy,
which serves the communities of Derry,
Hampstead, Auburn and Chester. Pinker-
ton 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-educational private school in
town for students in preschool through
grade eight.

HAVERHILL INCORPORATED 1870
The city of Haverhill
is known as The Shoe
City, because of the
massive shoe manu-
facturing industry that
dominated the economy
for more than 180 years.
After being aban-
doned for decades,
many of the 19th-
century mill buildings
that still dominate the
downtown are being
converted into shops,
restaurants and apart-
ment buildings.
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, strad-
dling the Merrimack
River about 35 miles
north of Boston. It has
more than 60,000 resi-
dents and covers over
36 square miles of land.
The city has its own
school system, two com-
muter 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, sh and swim. In addition,
there are many smaller areas of
conservation land with trails set
throughout the city.
Throughout its history,
Haverhill has produced many
noteworthy people and prod-
ucts. The city was home to the
rst 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
Greenleaf Whittier, MLB player
Carlos Pena and musician Rob
Zombie all hail from Haverhill.

LAWRENCE INCORPORATED 1847
This immigrant
city once was home
to people from nearly
every nation in Europe.
The Irish were the
rst group to move to
Lawrence en mass,
beginning around 1845.
They were followed
by Germans, French
Canadians and Eastern
Europeans.
Immigrants ocked to Law-
rence to work in the booming
mill industry, which produced
textiles and other goods.
Although Lawrence had a sig-
nicant 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 Law-
rence, 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 ofcers
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

Today, Lawrence is home
to more thank 77,000 resi-
dents, many of whom come
from Caribbean and Latin
American countries. The 2010
census found that 73.8 percent
of Lawrences population is
Latino.
Although much of the indus-

left the city, 35 percent of the
local economy is still manu-
facturing-based thanks to
companies like New Balance,
which maintains a factory in
Lawrence.

LONDONDERRYINCORPORATED 1722
Londonderry gets its name
from the hometown of the
Irish-Scottish settlers who rst
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
42 square 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
Representatives passed leg-
islation saying that all linen
manufactured in Londonderry
must have a seal to show its
authenticity.
Today, Londonderry is home
to more than 24,000 residents.
Many people live in the south-
eastern 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.

MERRIMAC INCORPORATED 1876
While neighboring towns
upstream were manufacturing
shoes and textiles in the 19th
century, Merrimac became
know for its horse-drawn car-
riage industry. Today, however,
industry has been forgotten in
Merrimac, a sleepy, suburban
community with a rural feel.
Merrimac originally was
settled in 1638 as part of
Salisbury, and spent most if its
history known as West Parish of
Amesbury, or West Amesbury.
In 1876, Merrimac separated
from Amesbury and became
incorporated as its own town.
Today, I-495 cuts through
Merrimac. There are new
subdivisions 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 shing
village. This area is on the
Merrimack River, and contains
some of the most desirable
properties in town. It is sepa-
rated from the rest of town by
I-495.
Merrimac is home to about
6,300 residents and is part of the
Pentucket School system, which
also includes West Newbury
and Groveland.
Lake Attitash is a small lake
that straddles Merrimac and
neighboring Amesbury. Mer-
rimac has a public beach, called
Indian Head Park, that allows
residents access to the lake.
The lakes shore also has many
private homes.

Like many cities in
the area, Methuen has a
rich industrial history.
The town was incor-
porated in 1725, after
breaking away from
Haverhill. In the 1820s,
the Spicket River, a trib-
utary of the Merrimack,
became a catalyst for
industry. The largest
mill was the Methuen
Cotton Mills at Spicket
Falls.
Smaller mills sprang
up, as well, manu-
facturing hats and

Today, the Searles-Tenney-

ebrates some of the greatest
architecture from this time.
Edward Searles, an architectural
designer, Charles Tenney, a
banker, and Henry Nevins, a mill
owner, were the three fathers
of Methuen. Their wealth and
power shaped the downtown that
remains today.
The Methuen Memorial Music
Hall and the Nevins Memo-
rial Library are examples of
the resources that these men
brought to Methuen.
Today, Methuen is home to
more than 47,000 residents. The
city has its own school system;
the mascot the blue-and-white

Methuen also is home to

NO. ANDOVER INCORPORATED 1855
North Andover was
singled out by early set-
tlers 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 rst published
poet, Anne Bradstreet.
Although it was called
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 28,000 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
more than 2,000 college stu-
dents 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.

PELHAMINCORPORATED 1746
Although Pelham is
a small town, it boasts
something no other
local town does: a full
18-hole disc golf course.
This unique sport fol-
lows the same idea as
golf; get through the
course with a few points
as possible. But instead
of hitting a ball, disc golf
players toss a disc (like
a Frisbee) into a basket.
The course is part of
Muldoon Park, the larg-
est recreational area in
Pelham.
The park also offers venues
for more conventional sports,
including baseball and soccer,
in addition to hiking trails.
Some of the trails lead to
Beaver Brook, a small river
where residents can launch a
canoe.
Pelham boarders Massachusetts
and contains the southern-most
point in New Hampshire.
The town is home to about
13,000 residents. It has its own
school system, which consists
of a preschool, elementary,
middle and high school.

PLAISTOWINCORPORATED 1749
When it comes to natural fea-
tures, Plaistow is known for that
which it does not have. It is one
of only two towns in New Hamp-
shire that does not have any
signicant lakes or ponds with
its boundaries. However, shing,
boating and swimming enthusi-
asts dont need to venture far to
nd great natural resources, like
Kingston State Park in nearby
Kingston.
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 land-
scape was lled with farmland
and pastures.
The town separated 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 developed,
Plaistow has become a retail
hub for shoppers from the
area and for Massachusetts

WINDHAM INCORPORATED 1742
For a quiet town,
Windham boasts 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 Nuteld because
of the large number of nut
trees that were found in the
area.
The town was home to
the Pawtucket Indians
before Scottish settlers
began homesteading in
1719. In 1742, the town was
incorporated.
Today, Windham is home
to about 13,500 residents.
It has its town schools sys-
tem, which serves more
than 1,600 students in four
schools. Windham also
has active youth sports
programs, as well as many
other extra-curriculars for
active residents.
Windham has a town
beach open to residents
and their guests located on
the shore of Cobbetts Pond.
The town also has access
to Canobie Lake for boat-
ing, but swimming is not
permitted in Canobie Lake
because it is Salems water
supply.
For those who like to keep
their legs on dry land, Wind-
ham offers Grifn Park, fea-
turing a playground, sports
elds and walking trails.
The Windham Rail Trail,
build on abandoned rail
lines, runs from Windham
to Derry, covering 4.1 miles
of paved walking and biking
trails.
A small town nurtures
a big voice
