About Portsmouth, NH

Portsmouth has been a focal point of the New Hampshire seacoast since the 1600s, when settlers used sailing barges called gundalows to ferry goods from the inland waters of Great Bay and trading ships came from around the world.

Today, the city is a vital economic center for the region with a densely-built modern center that retains many of the historic buildings from the early 1800s. The downtown offers exceptional opportunities for shopping, dining and entertainment.
