Hopkinton, New Hampshire a town of about 5,500 residents, is located just west of the state capital in Concord. One of the most frequently asked questions by visitors is "If it is the 'Town of Hopkinton' where does 'Contoocook' fit in?". Incorporated in 1765, the Town of Hopkinton actually consisted of three villages, Hopkinton, West Hopkinton and Contoocook. The first settlers came to the Contoocook River valley in the 1730's, eventually creating the three villages with forts, meeting places, and other infrastructure. Because of its position on the river, Contoocook became the commercial center and Hopkinton the seat of town government, an arrangement that still exists today.

Four interchanges from Interstate 89 provide access to Hopkinton and Contoocook. A classic New England town, Hopkinton also features one of New Hampshire's famed covered bridges.

NEW HAMPSHIRE THE BEAUTIFUL“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, New Hampshire is the most mountainous if 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 New Hampshire 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. Whatever your lifestyle, New Hampshire the Beautiful has a region to suit it! Climate: New Hampshire’s weather is as varied as its terrain, boasting the beauty of four very different seasons. We have snow in the winter, new life blooms in springtime, our summers are full of perfect beach weather, and we boast some of the nation’s most beautiful foliage in the fall. Population: New Hampshire has a population of just over 1.3 million people. The state’s population has just about doubled since 1960. Government: New Hampshire’s state capitol is Concord, situated along the Merrimack River in the south central region of the state. The state government has three branches; Executive, Legislative and Judicial, headed by a State Supreme Court. Taxes: Many people are drawn to New Hampshire for the lack of a state income tax and the lack of a sales tax.
