About Portsmouth (NH)
Portsmouth's story is etched into its very foundations, dating back to its 1623 settlement, making it one of the nation's oldest cities. Its deep maritime heritage as a bustling shipbuilding and trade port is visible at every turn, most notably at the living history museum of Strawbery Banke. The city is famous for its extraordinary collection of colonial and federal architecture, with over 60 historic properties dotting its downtown core, which is centered around the cobblestoned Market Square. Culturally, Portsmouth is a hub of creativity, hosting numerous festivals, a thriving theater scene, and a community of artists and craftspeople. The city is divided into distinct, walkable districts: the historic downtown with its shops and restaurants, the waterfront along the Piscataqua River with parks and piers, and the emerging West End with its eclectic mix of businesses. Portsmouth is renowned for its lack of sales tax, its fiercely independent local businesses, and its role as a gateway to the scenic Seacoast region, offering a sophisticated yet thoroughly New England experience.
