Origin:
This town was one of the first granted by Governor Benning Wentworth. When the
New Hampshire-Massachusetts border was established in 1741, territory that was in Amesbury
and Salisbury, Massachusetts, became part of New Hampshire. South Hampton was chartered in
1742 from that territory. Much of the area was already settled when the boundary line was
changed, and some residents petitioned to become part of a town closer to them. The east end
was annexed to Hampton Falls in 1742 and the west side was separated to form Newton in 1748.
At one time, the town was home to over twelve different religious sects.
