| Incorporated: 1766 |
| Origin: Originally a parish of Nottingham, Deerfield was incorporated as a separate town in 1766. It was probably named for Deerfield, Massachusetts, from where several early settlers had come to New Hampshire. An early resident was John Simpson, who achieved fame at the Battle of Bunker Hill by disobeying orders not to fire until you see the whites of their eyes and firing the first shot in the Revolution. Situated on the main road between Portsmouth and Concord, Deerfield was once a candidate for the state capitol. Deerfield has been home to the Deerfield Fair since 1876. |
