mar 4, 1629 - Founding of New Hampshire Colony

Description:

New Hampshire was one of the original 13 colonies, founded by fishermen and other settlers seeking economic opportunities in the New World, and was formally recognized as a separate colony from Massachusetts in 1679. Known for its mixed economy of farming and fishing, and its early struggles with native populations and boundary disputes, New Hampshire played a role in the development of New England and was the first colony to declare its independence from Great Britain in January 1776.
