Portsmouth NH Homes
| Portsmouth, New Hampshire is the heart of the Seacoast Region. Portsmouth's historic waterfront downtown area is home to numerous eclectic restaurants and shops and is a draw to people from around New England. Downtown Portsmouth lends itself to being explored on foot and as a result many older properties are being redeveloped into townhouse & condo style homes. Portsmouth's waterfront features include North Mill Pond, South Mill Pond, Sagamore Creek and the Piscataqua River, which provides Portsmouth with many waterfront properties. Portsmouth is convenient to the nearby communities of Dover, Greenland, New Castle, Newington, North Hampton, Rye, & Stratham. | ||||||||||||||||||

Wentworth Acres First settled in 1630 as Piscataqua, the settlement was soon named Strawberry Banke. The name Portsmouth was adopted in 1653 to honor the colony’s founder, John Mason, Captain of the Port in Portsmouth, England. Portsmouth became the New Hampshire province’s capitol in 1679. It was home to many famous colonials, such as William Whipple, signer of the Declaration of Independence; Governor John Langdon, first US Senate president; and John Paul Jones, naval hero. Portsmouth was incorporated as a city in 1849. The original Strawberry Banke settlement has been preserved as an example of a colonial American town. |
