Exeter NH Community Profile & History
Exeter, New Hampshire is situated on both the fresh water Exeter River and the salty Squamscott River, which intersect through a series of dams in the center of the town. Located within easy reach of the seacoast, the city of Boston, the scenic expanse of the Lakes Region and the snowy peaks of the White Mountains, the town offers excellent schools, a thriving local business climate, stunning natural and historical scenery and bountiful opportunities for receation and leisure. Rockingham County has been cited on numerous occasions as one of the best locations in which to establish a home and a business.
Originally inhabited by the Squamscott Indians, the community was established in 1638 by the reverend John Wheelright and his followers, who had been banished from the Puritan Massachusetts Bay Colony for their religious views. One of the first four townships in the New Hampshire colony, the community remained largely rural through its early years. Edward Gilman, Jr. built the first sawmill in 1653; his family later amassed a considerable fortune through trade with the West Indies and donated the land upon which historic Phillips Exeter Academy, one of the foremost preparatory schools in the nation, was first built. In 1774, New Hampshire's rebellious Provincial Congress began to meet in the Town House after it was banned from the colonial capitol at Portsmouth by Governor John Wentworth. The following year, the Provincial Congress seized provincial records from royal officials in Portsmouth and had them brought to the town; thus, the community became New Hampshire's Revolutionary War capital, holding the designation until New Hampshire achieved statehood in 1789.
Over the course of the 19th century, the town emerged as a center for manufacturing and attracted notice for its many architectural landmarks. Among the several historic buildings that still stand are the Old Town Hall, built in 1855; the Old Public Library, built in 1894; Phillips Church, built in 1897; and Tuck High School, built in 1911.
The community maintains a desirable balance of country and city, modern and old fashioned, traditional and progressive through utstanding opportunities in education, strategic business location, a skilled labor force, no state income tax and an excellent quality of life. Few places in the world can claim such close proximity to both ocean shores and mountain peaks, rivers and lakes, modern cities and historic villages. The area is central to all this and more, conveniently located at the hub of major highways and interstates, railroad lines and airports. This scenic town is rich with history, yet more than ready to enter the 21st century.
