Incorporated: 1768

Origin: This territory was first settled in 1638 when it was part of Hampton. It was part of Hampton Falls when that town separated from Hampton in 1726. Seabrook was incorporated as a separate town in 1768, and named after the Seabrook River. Early residents included the family of Meshech Weare, who became the state's first president. The boundary between Hampton and Seabrook was subject to periodic dispute for nearly two centuries, and was finally settled by court decision in 1953. Seabrook is now home to the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant, itself source of much dispute and controversy.
