Seacoast Region

Think History

If one wanted to describe the Seacoast Region in a word; rather than Seacoast, which is only 18 miles along the Atlantic Ocean, it would be historic. The Seacoast Region is comprised of 32 towns, but only 6 of them are on the broad ocean, with a few others having shore line on the salt water are known as “Great Bay.” However, all 32 towns play a significant role in New Hampshire history. In the beginning, water accounted for the location of most early towns: Portsmouth, Dover, and Hampton provided easy ocean access. Exeter was built at the beginning of the Swampscott River (or end, whichever way you look at it) because it allowed the early settlers easy access to timber. Timber accounted for Exeter becoming a thriving shipbuilding town because it had easy access to the Swampscott, which extends to Great Bay, and eventually runs into the ocean. From these water related towns, other towns were created for many reasons, but the most prevalent was for want of a church. In those days, a church was funded just like a school is today: taxes. If, for instance, the inland residents of Exeter wanted a church, they needed to have a means of raising taxes for the church. When accomplished, the western portion of Exeter became Brentwood, a new taxing authority. Twenty years after that, the western portion of Brentwood became Fremont, and so forth, until all the western portions of the original “water” towns had obtained their own churches.

This historic backdrop creates a very compelling reason for many people to move to this region. There is something nice about telling newcomers the Mast Tree Riot story, which took place in Fremont after a group of locals overheard the King's taxmen planning a sneak audit to see if the King's timber (used for sailing masts) was being illegally cut. It was, but the taxmen never found out because the locals, dressed as Indians, made sure they wouldn't. Or, recounting the significance Exeter, New Castle and Portsmouth played during the Revolutionary War, such as, stealing British powder in New Castle and storing it in Exeter for later use at Bunker Hill. Or, driving by an historic Exeter building and casually explaining that Abraham Lincoln stayed there while visiting his son Robert, who attended Phillips Exeter Academy to “lose his western accent” before attending Harvard the following year. It has often been speculated whether Lincoln would have become president if Robert had not attended the Academy. Yes, the Seacoast Region is a very interesting area to live, and if you enjoy history, it is the best.

However, one word of caution: if you are coming from California and tell a Realtor you want a “very old house.” Be prepared. Old on the Seacoast, verses old in San Francisco, mean two different things, entirely.
