A little Bit About Kingston New Hampshire

Kingston is one famous little New Hampshire town covering 20.88 square miles.   

Kingston was incorporated in 1694 after King William’s War. Kingston was established as a town in 1694 when it separated from the town of Hampton. It was the fifth town to be established in New Hampshire and originally called King's Town.

 

Kingston’s most  famous citizen is Dr. Josiah Bartlett, delegate to the Continental Congress, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and founder of the New Hampshire Medical Society…made popular by the TV show The West Wing’s fictional President who was said to be a descendant of the real Josiah Bartlett.  

One of Kingston’s most treasured historical landmarks is the Kingston 1686 House, located on Main Street and was the former home of Josiah Bartlett. 

Kingston State Park, Rock Rimmon State Forest bordering the Great Pond, is a 44-acre park offering freshwater swimming and picnicking.

Kingston’s Population: 5,862 (1999 est.) estimated 2005 population is 6,240

Ideally located Kingston is only 45 minutes from Concord NH, 1 hour from Boston Ma (depending on traffic) and a scant 30 minutes away from ocean beaches.  Kingston is a pretty town with a quaint little down town area called the Kingston Commons.
In the summer months the Commons is known for its farmers market where local farmers sell their fresh products.  Kingston offers a wide variety of community events.

                                                                                               

 

Long known as a town proud of its history but ready to embrace its future as evidenced by the fantastic new high school just completed. 

Come and take a Peak…you’ll be glad you did !

A Little Bit About Danville New Hampshire

Danville is ideally located within close proximity to both the Seacoast and the White Mountains of New Hampshire. 

 Danville has a quaint rural charm while being only a hop skip and a jump away from the much larger communities of Plaistow, Salem, Manchester and Boston, Ma. The Danville Community Profile states that the town census in 2004 was 4,327 small by anyone’s standards but Danville boasts a town....

  

Library and an active Heritage Commission.

Long proud of their community spirit Danville folks roll out the welcome wagon for new residents.

Just drive through the streets of Danville and you’ll be apt to find a place you’d like to call home. 

Danville is ideally located for a day trip to Hampton Beach or to one of New Hampshire’s many popular lakes

Danville is located close to many fine Camping facilities which is a favorite outdoor activity that many people in New Hampshire enjoy. 

Recreation

Fishing and Boating

• Nov. 3, 2006 - A Little Bit about Atkinson New Hampshire

A Little Bit About Atkinson New Hampshire

I love driving through Atkinson especially in the fall along rte 121...the road is embraced by trees and when the colors change...Wow is it ever pretty!  Next year I am going to make a point of taking photos along that road!

Atkinson is a small Southern NH town in Rockingham County; the community was named after

Col. Theodore Atkinson, a landowner whose farm once covered a good portion of the town. 

He was the Brother-in-law to Governor Benning Wentworth, and served as secretary of the colony until the Revolution. 

   Atkinson contains 11.2 square miles of land area and 0.2 square miles of inland water area.

 

The latitude of Atkinson is 42.838N. The longitude is -71.147W. Elevation is 262 feet.
The population, at the time of the 2004 census, was 6,638

 

Atkinson is a flourishing community whose border location is ideal for those commuting to Massachusetts or simply wishing to have easy access to the city of Boston, 35 minutes east brings you to  or 1-2 hours north you'll be in ski country 

 

 

  Click here for community profile.

Atkinson has some pretty cool conservation trails  and shares part of Big Island Pond a popular 500+/-acre lake with the towns of Hampstead and Derry NH.

Atkinson historically has had a strong re-sale value mainly due to its great location.

If I didn’t live in Hampstead I would definitely love living in Atkinson NH.

• Nov. 1, 2006 - A Little Bit About Hampstead New Hampshire

Hampstead is a small town that has a lot of community spirit and civic pride. 

Very rich in history and often described as a picture perfect postcard town.  Hampstead  is located in Rockingham County.  The town is 30 miles south of Concord, 30 miles west of Portsmouth, and 20 miles from Hampton Beach on the Seacoast.   

The 2004 Census estimate for Hampstead was 8,700 residents, which ranked 32nd among New Hampshire's incorporated cities and towns.

Hampstead contains 13.4 square miles of land, approximately 8,350 acres, 400 of which are inland water area, wholly or in part Island Pond, Sunset Lake, and Angle Pond.

Hampstead is a great commuting location...35 minutes and you’re on an ocean beach, an hour north and you can be skiing.  

 I have lived in Hampstead since 1972 and watched as the town has grown from a small village to bustling little (by some standards) community.  Yet with all the convinces of a much larger town…shopping, community activities, and town beach and recreation fields Hampstead still retains that small town feel. Come and visit us and you’ll see what I mean.
