In
1808, Concord became the capital of New Hampshire
and quickly became the hub of the county. Major attractions
and historical sites abound in the Concord area.
Brief
History: Concord, the capital of New Hampshire, covers
an area of 64 square miles and has a population of
approximately 34,500 people. The political heart of
the state, Concord began as a small unnamed trading
post in 1659 along the Merrimack River. A bend in
the river named Penny Cook by the Indians was the
site in 1697 of Hannah Dustin's famous escape from
Indian captors. Kidnaped on a raid of Haverhill, MA
Hannan Dustin scalped her sleeping captors and escaped.
Settlers
increased in the region and the land was granted in
1725 and named the Plantation of Penacook. In 1733,
it became the town of Rumford, and in 1765 Governor
Wentworth granted the name Concord for the town. The
town grew and by 1775 there was a population of 1,052.
Timothy Walker made sure the convention on ratification
of the U.S. Constitution was held in Concord and he
was instrumental in obtaining that ratification in
1788.
Throughout
the 1780's state government met in various locations
in NH including Concord. Its central location made
it an ideal spot for permanent government and in 1808,
Concord became the capital. The State House was completed
in 1819 and has since remained the meeting site of
the largest legislature in the United States. Concord
continued to grow and become a trade center. Several
industries sprang up and in later years Concord granite
was used to construct buildings throughout New England
and the East.
