CONCORD
Merrimack County • New Hampshire Capital
Settled in 1659 • Incorporated 1734
The area was first settled in 1659 as “Penacook”. On January 17, 1725, the Province of Massachusetts Bay, which then claimed territories west of the Merrimack River, granted the Concord area as the Plantation of Penacook.
Concord was settled between 1725 and 1727 by Captain Ebenezer Eastman and others from Haverhill, Massachusetts. On February 9, 1734, the town was incorporated as “Rumford”. It was renamed “Concord” in 1765 by Governor Benning Wentworth.
In 1808, Concord was named the official seat of state government. The 1819 State House is the oldest capitol in the nation in which the state’s legislative branches meet in their original chambers.
