New Hampshire Population
The state of New Hampshire has experienced a six per cent growth over the past few years. Because of the White Mountains range that runs through the north central portion of the state, much of New Hampshire’s population is centered in the south eastern portion of the state. The largest cities in New Hampshire include Manchester, Concord, the state capital, Nashua, Derry, Rochester, Salem, Dover, Merrimack, Londonderry and Hudson.
New Hampshire Economy
Once a traditional manufacturer of goods including textiles, shoes and apparel, New Hampshire now supplies only a small percentage of these products. Agricultural products are a staple of the state’s economy and include apples, eggs, dairy products, cattle and nursery stock. Industrial products include rubber and plastic products, machinery and electric equipment. Tourism accounts for a large percentage of New Hampshire’s economy particularly in the autumn and winter months. New Hampshire is also known for its role in U.S. politics as the site of the New Hampshire primary as part of the U.S. presidential elections.
New Hampshire Tourism and Recreation
