North Hampton

North Hampton combines a quiet residential character with open Atlantic frontage in a way that reflects its position on New Hampshire’s short seacoast. The town’s eastern edge meets the Atlantic Ocean, where Route 1A follows the shore between Hampton and Rye; inland, wooded roads and former farmland create a markedly different setting. North Hampton was incorporated in 1742 after separating from Hampton, and its spread-out development still reflects rural origins. On the oceanfront, Fuller Gardens is a public formal garden created from the estate of former Massachusetts governor Alvan T. Fuller and is particularly associated with its rose garden.
