Claremont NH Community Profile & History
Claremont, New Hampshire is a city in western New Hampshire's scenic Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee region. The community was named by Governor Benning Wentworth to honor his cousin, Lord Clare, whose English estate in Surrey was called Claremont Castle. Sullivan County's only city, Claremont was first settled by Moses Spafford and David Lynde, two Connecticut grantees. The oldest areas are west of downtown Claremont whose early development was tied to the water power potential of the Sugar River and along which textile, paper and machinery mills were built, many of which remain today. The river--its total fall through the town is 250 feet--flows from Lake Sunapee, emptying into the Connecticut at West Claremont. Although Claremont is best known for its industrial heritage, in the mid-1800s it enjoyed a reputation as the best farming town in New Hampshire.
With a population holding steady at around 4,000 for the decades between 1850 and 1880, Claremont had stabilized its economic growth and expansion and in both of these had proceeded slowly. But along with the tremendous success of the factories, and the resulting influx of more and more mill workers, the rapid expansion that began in the 1880's produced a building boom, the results of which still define the shape of Claremont today.The present Opera House/Town Hall was completed in 1897. The Hotel Claremont, which stretces majestically along the northern side of Tremont Square was built in 1892. The Fiske Free Library was built in 1903, the Hunton Block in 1893, and the Hunton Block on Sullivan Street in 1899.
Claremont today is largely residential in nature, with a thriving commercial downtown along Washington Street that offers shops, restaurants, historic architecture, and a classic New England town square at Broad Street Park. Nearby attractions include scenic Lake Sunapee, the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site in Cornish, the storied Fort No. 4 in Charlestown, and a vast network of hiking trails in the surrounding hills and mountains of the region.
