A LITTLE HISTORY

First explorers to visit the New Hampshire area were England's Martin Pring in 1603, and Champlain in 1605. The first settlement was Odiorne's Point (now port of Rye) in 1623. Indian raids were halted in 1759 by Robert Rogers' Rangers. Before the American Revolution, New Hampshire men seized a British fort at Portsmouth in 1774, and drove the royal governor out in 1775. Three regiments served in the Continental Army, and scores of privateers raided British shipping.
