Welcome to North Hampton
North Hampton, NH, is a small town nestled in the southern seacoast region of the state. With a population of just over 4,500 according to the 2020 census, North Hampton is made up of close-knit neighborhoods: the kind of place where locals get to know each other. You'll hear town issues being discussed while waiting in line at Joe's Meat Shoppe on Atlantic Avenue and find loads of locals over at the Airfield Cafe, watching the planes take off and land.
Originally part of Hampton, NH, the town was settled in the 1630s. Though petitioning to separate from Hampton began by 1719, it wasn't until 1742 that North Hampton officially became independent.
Drawn by the beauty of the rocky New Hampshire coast, areas such as Little Boars Head began to sprout fine homes in the 1700s and 1800s. Little Boars Head is now a bona fide Historical District with dozens of fine antique homes overlooking the ocean.
American Presidents and other dignitaries visited the area and built splendid homes near the shore. One of these, Massachusetts Governor Alvan T. Fuller, left his turn-of-the-century estate garden to the enjoyment of the public: elegant Fuller Gardens is open from Mother's Day through mid-October. There is no better place to stop and smell the roses!
