About location

Portsmouth occupies a tidal riverfront on the Piscataqua River in New Hampshire’s Seacoast region. The river forms the state boundary with Kittery, Maine, and its deep harbor helped Portsmouth develop as an important colonial New England port. Settled in 1630, the city retains a notably coherent historic core of brick mercantile blocks, Federal-era houses and waterfront wharves. Strawbery Banke Museum preserves buildings and gardens spanning several centuries of local life, while Market Square remains the compact civic center. Road bridges and the riverfront connect downtown with shipbuilding communities across the water, giving Portsmouth an urban character shaped by trade, maritime industry and the tides.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
