Under an English land grant, Capt. John Smith sent settlers to establish a fishing colony at the mouth of the
Piscataqua River, near present-day Rye and Dover, in 1623. Capt. John Mason, who participated in the
founding of Portsmouth in 1630, gave New Hampshire its name.

After a 38-year period of union with Massachusetts, New Hampshire was made a separate royal colony in 1679.
As leaders in the revolutionary cause, New Hampshire delegates received the honor of being the first to vote
for the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. New Hampshire gained a measure of international
attention in 1905 when Portsmouth Naval Base played host to the signing of the treaty ending the Russo-
Japanese War, known as the Treaty of Portsmouth.

Abundant water power turned New Hampshire into an industrial state early on, and manufacturing is the
principal source of income. The most important industrial products are electrical and other machinery, textiles,
pulp and paper products, and stone and clay products. Dairy and poultry, and growing fruit, truck vegetables,
corn, potatoes, and hay are the major agricultural pursuits.

Because of New Hampshire's scenic and recreational resources, tourism now brings over $3.5 billion into the
state annually.

Vacation attractions include Lake Winnipesaukee, largest of 1,300 lakes and ponds; the 724,000-acre White
Mountain National Forest; Daniel Webster's birthplace near Franklin; and Strawbery Banke, restored buildings
of the original settlement at Portsmouth. In 2003, the famous “Old Man of the Mountain” granite head profile,
the state's official emblem, fell from its perch in Franconia. Information from http://www.infoplease.com
