Origin: Originally part of a grant to Edward Tyng of Dunstable, England, the 200 square mile area, called Dunstable, included Nashua, Tyngsboro MA, and other border towns. In 1741 the town was cut in half when the Massachusetts-New Hampshire border was established. The northern half kept the name Dunstable. In 1836 the town took the Nashua River's name, a Nashaway Indian word for "beautiful river with a pebbly bottom." Nashua became a manufacturing center, powered by the Middlesex Canal which connected the Merrimack River to Boston. It was incorporated as a city in 1853.

Although Nashua ranked first in numeric population increase over fifty years, the rates of growth were at or below the statewide average. Decennial growth rates ranged from a nine percent increase between 1990-2000 to a 43 percent increase between 1960-1970. Nashua's population grew by 51,936 residents between the 1950 count of 34,669 and the 2000 count of 86,605. The 2004 Census estimate for Nashua was 87,411 residents, which ranked second among New Hampshire's incorporated cities and towns.

 
Population Density, 2004: 2,842.6 persons per square mile of land area, the second highest among the cities and towns. Nashua contains 30.8 square miles of land area and 1.0 square miles of inland water area.
