Merrimack, New Hampshire is a sprawling bedroom community located between Nashua and Manchester, the state's two largest cities. The town is home to about 23,000 people, with some commercial development as well as residential subdivisions and a rustic country setting around its outskirts. The Merrimack River serves as the town’s eastern border, and the Souhegan River runs through the middle of town. Centrally located near the city of Boston, the state's scenic Atlantic Ocean coast, the stunning natural expanse of the Lakes Region and the snowy peaks of the White Mountains, the community enjoys a thriving local economy, excellent schools and bountiful opportunities for outdoor recreation, sightseeing and leisure.
First settled in the late 17th century, when the boundary between the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the Province of New Hampshire was still in dispute, Merrimack was incorporated by Colonial Governor Benning Wentworth in 1746. Once a small a small farming town with some lumbering and forestry, the community has enjoyed significant growth throughout the decades following World War II, when expanded highways and automotive travel brought an influx of young families throughout southern New Hampshire. The town has since emerged as a major site of industry, including several high-tech firms and the Anheuser-Busch brewery.
Merrimack is experiencing steady economic growth, led by Fidelity Investments' arrival in 1996 with the promise of expanding to bring at least 2,500 employees to town. Additionally, the Federal Aviation Administration announced plans in late 1997 to build a regional facility in town. The town celebrated its 250th anniversary in 1996, and a committee of local volunteers raised money to fund the construction of a bandstand and small park adjoining the town hall.

NEW HAMPSHIRE (NH) THE BEAUTIFUL -- "LIVE FREE OR DIE"
"Why did you move to New Hampshire?"
Most newcomers would answer that question with three simple words: "quality of life." This is an area where young parents want to raise their kids and then stay once the nest is empty - where neighbor knows neighbor, strong community ties develop and friendships endure. There is an unmistakable feeling of COMING HOME to the beauty of a land that overwhelms you and makes you want to live here forever.
Tucked into a corner of the northeastern United States, the state is the most mountainous of the six contiguous states that comprise New England. Shaped like a right triangle, the "Granite State" shares a boundary with the Canadian province of Quebec to the north, the winding Connecticut River and the state of Vermont to the west, the state of Maine and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and Massachusetts to the south.
Anywhere you choose to call home in the state is just a short day trip from the city, the mountains or the ocean. The Merrimack Valley and Seacoast regions, which make up most of the southern tier, are each about an hour from the many attractions of the greater Boston area. Less than a 2-hour drive to the north are the majestic mountains of the Presidential range and the extensive waterways that form the Lakes Region.
