| Incorporated: 1746 |
| Origin: Originally part of a 1673 grant to Edward Tyng of Dunstable, England, the 200 square mile area, called Dunstable, included Nashua, Tyngsboro MA, and all or part of ten other towns. In 1741, Dunstable was cut in half when the Massachusetts-New Hampshire border was established. The northern half kept the name Dunstable. In 1836 the town took the Nashua River's name, a Nashaway Indian word for "beautiful river with a pebbly bottom" and land between two rivers. In 1842, the town was divided again, with the section north of the Nashua River incorporated as Nashville. The two sections rejoined when Nashua was incorporated as a city in 1853. Nashua became a manufacturing center, powered by the Middlesex Canal which connected the Merrimack River to Boston. |
