Sullivan
County was organized in September, 1827. It was named
for General John Sullivan, a Revolutionary War hero,
New Hampshire attorney general and judge. Charlestown's
Fort #4 played an important role during the French
and Indian Wars. The town of Cornish, first settled
in 1765 was a site where mast pines were cut for the
King's ships. Sullivan county was the birthplace of
the American machine tool industry and is the site
of several historic mill communities.
Sullivan
County is located in western New Hampshire and shares
a thirty-six mile stretch of the Connecticut River
with our neighbor Vermont. It consists of 528 square
miles and has population of 38,592. Eighty-Five percent
of the landscape is in forest land and twelve percent
of the county is prime farm land. Many of these 18th
century farms are still in the same family. Primary
industries include manufacturing, retail, health and
higher education.

deeds", consisting of copies of surviving portionds
of the burned volumes with a separate index, is at
the Registry. See City & Town Clerks for more details
