Located on the banks of the Merrimack River, Manchester, New Hampshire, was settled in the early 1700s and incorporated as a city in 1846. Today, with a population of more than 107,000, Manchester is the largest city in Northern New England.

Despite spectacular growth in recent decades, Manchester has been careful to preserve the best of its rich past. A creative blend of old and new architecture, the city retains the character and intimacy of close-knit neighborhoods while offering the advantages of an urban setting. The result is a quality of life that offers something for everyone.
