Brookline NH Community Profile & History
Brookline, New Hampshire is home to about 2,900 residents. The town is located on the Massachusetts border, just west of Hollis. A quiet rural community at the heart of southern New Hampshire, it offers an accessible location near Boston, the seacoast, the peaks of the Monadnock and White Mountains, a thriving local business climate, striking natural and historical scenery, and excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation and leisure.
Originally part of Dunstable, Massachusetts, the community was settled as "West Hollis" in the 1740s. The town was granted by colonial Governor John Wentworth as "Raby" in 1769 and finally given its current name at the suggestion of a resident and landowner from Brookline, Massachusetts in 1798. About 8,000 of the community's 13,000 acres remain undeveloped. This is despite a recent growth spurt that prompted the Planning Board to introduce an ordinance limiting the number of building permits given out each year. That ordinance has been in place since 1994 and will likely remain on the books as a way to help the town preserve its rural character even as it enjoys an influx of new residents.
A number of historical homes and buildings are located in the town center, including the Florence Barnaby house, which is now the headquarters of the historical society. The former Brookline Railroad Station, now a private home, is another historical landmark. The Talbot-Taylor Wildlife Sanctuary, Nissitissit River and Lake Potanipo are popular sites for outdoor enthusiasts.
Despite its convenient location near New England's largest cities and major attractions, the town offers a bounty of striking rural scenery and open space. Quiet country roads and homes tucked away on wooded lots define the gorgeous landscape. The community's small-town charm, excellent recreational opportunities, accesible location and unspoilt natural beauty have attracted many new residents in recent years. To accommodate the larger number of school enrollments, the local school system has been expanding. In recent years the town has approved construction of a new high school (opened in 1997), the expansion of the elementary school, and construction of an upper elementary school.
