The population was 6,269 at the 2010 census.[1] A resort area situated beside Lake Winnipesaukee, Wolfeboro includes the village of Wolfeboro Falls. HistoryThe town was granted by Colonial Governor Benning Wentworth in 1759 to four young men of Portsmouth, and named "Wolfeborough" in honor of English General James Wolfe, who had been victorious at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759 during the French and Indian War. In 1763, {{convert|2300|acre|ha}} were added to the {{convert|60|acre|ha}} reserved for the governor. Colonial Governor John Wentworth, his nephew, established an estate on the site, known as Kingswood. Built in 1771 beside what is now called Lake Wentworth, this was the first summer country estate in northern New England. Settled in 1768, the town was incorporated in 1770. Over the years Wolfeboro, whose town motto is "The Oldest Summer Resort in America", became a popular summer colony, particularly for families from Boston and southern New Hampshire.{{citation needed|date=May 2014}} Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco, Kurt Vonnegut, Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon have spent time in Wolfeboro.[2] In August 2007, then French president Nicolas Sarkozy vacationed there.[3] In May 2014, it was discovered that 82-year-old police commissioner Robert Copeland had been overheard in a cafe two months earlier using a racial epithet to refer to President Barack Obama.[4] Copeland acknowledged in an email to his colleagues that he did in fact use the word, saying "for this, I do not apologize — he meets and exceeds my criteria for such." At a subsequent meeting with residents, Copeland refused calls for his resignation.[4] A few days later, he submitted his resignation.[5] GeographyThe main village of Wolfeboro is located at the head of Wolfeboro Bay on Lake Winnipesaukee, at the junction of New Hampshire routes 28 and 109. Wolfeboro Falls is just {{convert|1|mi|0}} to the north along Routes 28/109. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|58.5|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|47.9|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|10.6|sqmi}} is water, comprising 18.09% of the town.[6] Wolfeboro is drained by the Smith River, which is the outlet of Lake Wentworth and an inlet of Lake Winnipesaukee.

The town is home to Wentworth State Park, a {{convert|50|acre|km2|abbr=on|adj=on}} state park on the shore of Lake Wentworth.
