In January 1776 it became the first of the British North American colonies to establish a government independent of the Kingdom of Great Britain's authority and it was the first to establish its own state constitution. Six months later, it became one of the original 13 states that founded the United States of America, and in June 1788 it was the ninth state to ratify the Constitution, bringing that document into effect.
Concord is the state capital, while Manchester is the largest city in the state. It has no general sales tax, nor is personal income (other than interest and dividends) taxed at either the state or local level. It is known for the New Hampshire primary, the first primary in the U.S. presidential election cycle. Its license plates carry the state motto, "Live Free or Die". The motto comes from a statement written by the Revolutionary War general John Stark, hero of the Battle of Bennington. The state's nickname, "The Granite State", refers to its extensive granite formations and quarries.
New Hampshire is a monthly lifestyle publication focused on "joining readers in a quest for all the best New Hampshire has to offer." It is a member of the City and Regional Magazine Association (CRMA).
History
The Early Years
New Hampshire Magazine originated in 1988 in Nashua, NH, by Network Publications, Inc (owned by Patricia and David Gregg). Its point of origin and focus were predominantly Nashua, as its first name was "Network Magazine of Nashua." Its first issue (Vol. 1 No.1) featured Congressman Judd Gregg (soon-to-be Governor) on the cover. New Hampshire Magazine started as a bi-monthly magazine, but after two issues, switched to monthly in February 1989.
The early mission statement for the Magazine was focused around creating a lifestyle/business publication for the city which, as its reach grew, would eventually encompass the state.
New Hampshire Magazine was also one of the first publications in New Hampshire to be completely laid out on a computer (Desktop Publishing).
New Hampshire Route 101 is a state-maintained highway in southern New Hampshire extending from Keene to Hampton Beach. It is the major east–west highway in the southern portion of the state.
The western terminus of NH 101 is in Keene at the junction with New Hampshire Routes 9, 10 and 12. The eastern terminus is in Hampton Beach at the junction with Ocean Boulevard (NH 1A). The total length of NH 101 is approximately 95 miles (153km). However, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation has installed mileposts on the freeway section east of Interstate 93 that begin at mile 100.
Between Exeter and Hampton, NH 101 is known as the Exeter–Hampton Expressway.
Route description
NH 101 is a two-lane surface road from its western terminus in Keene to the western terminus of New Hampshire Route 101A in Milford. From there, NH 101 splits off to the south and becomes a two-lane limited-access highway that bypasses Milford and Amherst, becoming a two-lane surface road just north of Amherst. At the eastern terminus of New Hampshire Route 114 in Bedford, NH 101 becomes a four-lane limited-access highway. It expands to six lanes upon merging with Interstate 293 in Manchester, and eight lanes upon merging with Interstate 93. East of I-93, NH 101 narrows to four lanes. The route remains a four-lane expressway until exit 12 (Interstate 95) in Hampton, where NH 101 becomes a two-lane freeway at exit 13. At an interchange with U.S. Route 1, it becomes a two-lane surface road to its terminus in Hampton Beach.
New Hampshire Route 124 (abbreviated NH 124) is a 28.083-mile-long (45.195km) east–west highway in southern New Hampshire, United States. It runs from Marlborough to the Massachusetts border.
The western terminus of NH 124 is in Marlborough at New Hampshire Route 101. The road continues through Marlborough, a short section of Troy and enters the northwestern part of Jaffrey. The road skirts the southern slopes of Mount Monadnock, across Jaffrey, and into Sharon. In Sharon there is an historic marker on the northern side of the road marking the site of a gate that once collected tolls for the 3rd New Hampshire Turnpike, which followed much of the present-day route of NH 124. The road enters New Ipswich and continues through that town.
The eastern terminus of NH 124 is at the Massachusetts state line in Mason. The road continues into Massachusetts as Greenville Road in the town of Townsend.
The southern terminus of NH 122 is at the Massachusetts state line in Hollis, where the road continues into Massachusetts as an unnumbered local road in the town of Pepperell. The northern terminus of NH 122 is at an interchange with New Hampshire Route 101 in Amherst.
New Hampshire Route 128 (abbreviated NH 128) is a 16.059-mile-long (25.844km) north–south highway in southeastern New Hampshire. NH 128 runs from the Massachusetts border in Pelham northward to Londonderry, south of Manchester. NH 128 is named Mammoth Road throughout its entire length.
The southern terminus of NH 128 is at the Massachusetts state line in the town of Pelham, where the road continues into Massachusetts as an unnumbered road in the town of Dracut. The road, however, is still named Mammoth Road in Dracut. The northern terminus is at New Hampshire Route 28 in Londonderry. Mammoth Road continues northward along NH 28 and then New Hampshire Route 28A.

In January 1776 it became the first of the British North American colonies to establish a government independent of the Kingdom of Great Britain's authority and it was the first to establish its own state constitution. Six months later, it became one of the original 13 states that founded the United States of America, and in June 1788 it was the ninth state to ratify the Constitution, bringing that document into effect.
Concord is the state capital, while Manchester is the largest city in the state. It has no general sales tax, nor is personal income (other than interest and dividends) taxed at either the state or local level. It is known for the New Hampshire primary, the first primary in the U.S. presidential election cycle. Its license plates carry the state motto, "Live Free or Die". The motto comes from a statement written by the Revolutionary War general John Stark, hero of the Battle of Bennington. The state's nickname, "The Granite State", refers to its extensive granite formations and quarries.
I'm in my right mind when I awake Won't let my mind shake like a quake Don't roll like thunder in your heart Can't let change rearrange or tear you apart All they can think to do is starve and strive Takin' away life in order to survive How will hope have a chance to stay alive In the summer of 1999 Bring a new route I'm ready The world's still spinnin' in the air Man's still sittin' in despair I won't let 'em bring me down I'm gonna wait for the new day to come around
