In New Hampshire, Hillsborough County is where most of the action happens. It’s the most populous county, thanks to Manchester and Nashua. But if you’re after some peace and quiet, Coos County up north is quietest. It’s the least populous county because it’s mostly forests and mountains.
Most Populous: Hillsborough County
Least Populous: Coos County
Coos County isn’t just the least populous. It’s also the biggest in terms of land area. It covers about a third of the state but has only about 3% of the population. Strafford County is the smallest county, but it still has plenty going on.
Largest Area: Coos County
Smallest Area: Strafford County
New Hampshire’s counties have some interesting history behind them. For instance, Belknap County is named after Jeremy Belknap, a clergyman who wrote one of the first histories of New Hampshire. Then, there’s Merrimack County, which comes from the Native American word for “swift water place,” referring to the Merrimack River.
The state started setting up counties back in 1769, when it was still a British colony. So there’s tons of history here in New Hampshire.
