One of New Hampshire's earliest towns, Hampton was settled in 1638. The town first was called the Plantation of Winnacunnet. Winnacunnet is an Abenaki Indian word meaning “pleasant pines.” The first tax-supported public school was established in Winnacunnet in 1649 for the education of both boys and girls. The Tuck Museum on Meeting House Green, 40 Park Ave., depicts facets of Hampton's history; phone (603) 929-0781. Across from the Green, Founders Park contains 42 stones representing the town's earliest families. Learn More...
