Goffstown NH Community Profile & History
Goffstown, New Hampshire is located in Hillsborough County in the southern section of the state. It is a community of 15,000 persons with a diversified business base. Goffstown is bordered by the following towns: Bedford, Dunbarton, Hooksett, Manchester, New Boston, and Weare. Among these towns, Goffstown is second only to the city of Manchester in population.
Goffstown is a scenic community with twin mountains, forested hills, winding rivers, and an attractive New England village center. Recreational opportunities abound, including hiking, swimming, boating, fishing, snowmobiling, and ice skating.
The town is just an hour's travel from Boston, Massachusetts, New Hampshire's White Mountains and the seacoast. Goffstown's proximity to major north-south and east-west routes, the state's largest airport, and southern NH's major municipalities and business centers makes it an attractive business location. Goffstown is a pleasant community in a convenient location -- an enviable place to live or work.
Goffstown was incorporated on June 17, 1761 and is named for Colonel John Goffe, an early settler, soldier and civic leader. Goffstown was originally a farming community. The first settlers in the 1700s found the area magnificently forested, with hardwood on the hill and unexcelled stands of white pine on the "pine plains", which extended along Mast Road. This area was so named for the many pine trees suitable for ship masts, which were cut and hauled to the Merrimack River for use by the Royal British Navy.
The first settlement was on the north bank of the Piscataquog River in what is now Grasmere Village, the seat of the town government for more than 100 years. Goffstown Village grew up around the falls on the Piscataquog River, where local industry developed because of the availability of water power. Pinardville developed rapidly in the era of the electric trolley car as a residential suburb for employees of nearby Manchester's mills. The steam railroad also played a part in creating the Town's nodular pattern of development, with stations at Grasmere, Shirley Station, Goffstown Village and Parker Station. To date, Grasmere, the Village, and Pinardville exist as three distinct areas of town.
