New Boston is located west of Manchester, the second largest city in New Hampshire. With a population of approximately 4,000 we enjoy the small-town atmosphere yet appreciate the convenience of being only 1 hour from Boston, 1 hour from the Coast, only 20 minutes to the closest ski area & finally, only 30 minutes to Manchester Airport (the fastest growing airport on the East Coast).

First settled in 1736 and administered by the Massachusetts Bay Colony Governor, New Boston was originally a grant of 6 square miles and known as Lanestown or Piscataquog Township. The name New Boston was finally adopted and the town incorporated in 1763. New Boston is home to the Molly Stark Cannon, a reminder of the town’s participation in the Revolutionary War. This brass 4-pounder, cast in 1743, was captured August 15, 1777 by General John Stark at the Battle of Bennington. General Stark presented “Old Molly” to the New Boston Artillery Company of the 9th Regiment of New Hampshire Militia for their part in the battle. This artillery company was reorganized in 1938 and is responsible for the maintenance of the “Molly Stark” and its “security”. Every July 4th the cannon is proudly displayed during the parade through town into the Hillsboro County Fairgrounds where she is fired for the enjoyment of the spectators. New Boston has that marvelous community spirit that makes it enjoyable for everyone to participate in numerous activities—whatever your interests are.

For the outdoor enthusiast there is fishing, hiking, canoeing, camping, hunting & enjoying the wildlife that abounds in our area. Winter brings skiing, skating, snowmobiling, snowshoeing & ice fishing.
The town has many volunteer positions from serving on several boards, helping with school activities or coaching various boys & girls sports teams. Whatever your interests are you will find some organization to join—or, just relax and enjoy country living at its finest!
