History of Hampton, NH
In 1638, the area, which included land now in Seabrook, Kensington, Danville, Kingston, East Kingston, Sandown, North Hampton, South Hampton, Hampton Falls, and Great Boar’s Head, was settled by a group of parishioners led by Reverend Stephen Bachiler. The Reverend had previously preached in Hampton, England, and the town was incorporated as Hampton in 1639. Poet John Greenleaf Whittier was a direct descendant of Reverend Bachiler.
Sunrise at Hampton, NH
Construction of the railroad in the 1850’s made Hampton’s oceanfront a popular resort. Hampton beach features soft sand and is one of the widest ocean beaches in all of New England.
