The first appearance of man in the state 10 thousand years ago. Before the British, up to 4 thousand Indians of the Pennacook tribal union lived here. The first English settlements of fishermen and merchants were established at the mouth of the river. Piscatacua in 1623. In 1629, the two owners of this region divided it among themselves. New Hampshire fell to Captain Mason and a colony was formed. Prior to the outbreak of King Philip’s War (with Spain, 1675-76), there were no conflicts between settlers and Indians. During the 17th – early 18th centuries. The colony was governed by the Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In 1741 there was a separation from Massachusetts. Beginning in 1741, the colony engaged in border disputes with its neighbors, which were interrupted by the War of Independence, in which the inhabitants of the colony took an active part in it. The war began for the inhabitants of New Hampshire in December 1774 with an attack on an English fort in Portsmouth Harbor and the seizure of weapons by the inhabitants of the surrounding villages. In 1776, New Hampshire adopted a constitution that declared the state’s independence from Great Britain. New Hampshire is among the first 13 states. The current constitution was adopted in 1784. In the 18th-19th centuries The state’s economy is based on rich forest resources. The main industry is shipbuilding (center in Portsmouth). As settlers moved into the hinterland, farming developed. In 1808 the capital was moved from Portsmouth to Concord. In 1810, the first factory was built on the site of the future Manchester. The manufacture of textiles begins. There are large enterprises of the shoe industry. Competition from the South caused an industrial decline. In the late 1830s, there was a decline in agriculture. The cotton mills closed in 1935 (the first in the US). AfterDuring the Civil War, production declined overall. World War II gave impetus to the development of high technology. Favorable conditions for the development of production (low taxes, low land prices, proximity to large markets) contribute to the economic recovery of the state.
