AT HOME IN DOVER NEW HAMPSHIRE – Dover
is located at the southern tip of Strafford County, right between the
Cocheco and Bellamy Rivers, and is part of the general Seacoast NH
areas.
Dover NH
was settled a few years ago, way back in 1623, and at that time, it was
one of the first three communities established in NH. Originally
called Hilton’s Point, after the person who led the group of Englishmen
who landed at Dover Point, it was later named Dover after Dover,
England. The population back in the very first census poll was
1,998 residents in 1790. Today, the population is just about 28,800.
