Area Information

A little history about Littleton, NH...

Littleton was part of Lisbon until 1770, when it was granted it's own name, 'Apthorp', in honor of George Apthorp, head of one of the wealthiest mercantile establishments in Boston.

The land was later passed to Colonel Moses Little, an Apthorp family's associate from Newburyport, Massachusetts.  Colonel Little held the post of "Surveyor of the King's Woods", and the town was named 'Littleton' in his honor in 1784, the same year New Hampshire became a state.

Littleton was the first New Hampshire town to be awarded the NH Profile Community Award for preserving, protecting or promoting NH's spirit of independence. The town continues to have a reputation at a great place to live, work, and do business.

The town has more than twenty historic sites, including the Littleton Grist Mill, located on the banks of the Ammonoosuc River.

Today Littleton is vibrant and growing community.  While preserving it's Old New England Main Street character, you will also now find Home Depot, Applebees's, 99 Restaurant, and other high profile chains have recently opened shop in the community.

Littleton is home of the Littleton Stamp and Coin Company - one of the oldest catalog coin companies in the world as well as McClure's Maple - a well-known maple syrup and maple candy manufacturer.

Downtown Littleton features several restaurants, boutiques, gift shops and clothing stores and even has it's own first-run movie theatre, the Jax Movie Theatre.
