Brief History of New Hampshire
New Hampshire's history began with Native American settlements, primarily of the Abenaki tribe, who prospered from the region's rich natural resources. European exploration began in the early 1600s, and the first permanent English settlement was established in 1623 in what are now the towns of Rye and Dover. The territory became a separate royal colony in 1679 after seceding from Massachusetts.
New Hampshire played an important role during the American Revolution, becoming the first colony to establish an independent government and then joining the Union as the ninth state in 1788. The nineteenth century saw industrial growth, especially in the textile and flour milling industries, fueled by rivers such as the Merrimack.
Throughout its history, New Hampshire has maintained a tradition of political independence and civic participation, exemplified by the nation's first presidential primary, which has shaped New Hampshire's unique cultural and political identity.
