At the 2010 census, the town had a total population of 891.[1] HistoryOriginally chartered by Governor Benning Wentworth in 1752, it was called Burnet after William Burnet, a former governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay. In 1754, however, the French and Indian War broke out, and no settlements were made under the charter.[2] Wentworth regranted the township on 19 September 1766,[3] naming it after Sir Jacob Acworth, a former Surveyor of the Royal Navy.[4] The town was first permanently settled in 1768 by several families from Londonderry. Acworth was incorporated in 1772 by Governor John Wentworth,[5] but war again slowed its development. With the close of the Revolution, however, Acworth grew quickly. By 1859, it had 1,251 inhabitants, most of whom were occupied in agriculture. The Cold River provided water power for industry, including 5 sawmills, a gristmill, a woolen factory, a bobbin factory and a peg factory. There was also a boot and shoe manufacturer.[2] Acworth is a source for museum-quality crystals such as beryl. The town of Acworth, Georgia was named for this town, because this was the hometown of a railroad engineer there. GeographyAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|39.1|sqmi|km2}}, of which {{convert|38.9|sqmi|km2|abbr=on}} is land and {{convert|0.2|sqmi|km2|abbr=on}} is water, comprising 0.61% of the town. Acworth is drained by the Cold River, and lies fully within the Connecticut River watershed.[6] The highest point in Acworth is Gove Hill, at {{convert|1939|ft|m}} above sea level. The town is crossed by one numbered state highway, New Hampshire Route 123A, which follows the Cold River and passes through the village of South Acworth. Although not numbered routes, the state also maintains a handful of other roads in the town, including Cold River Road, Hill Road, and a portion of Charlestown Road.
