Hebron is a town in Grafton County, New Hampshire, United States. The population was 602 at the 2010 census.[1] Settlements include the town center and the village of East Hebron.

History

First settled in 1765, Hebron was incorporated in 1792 from a portion of the extinct township of Cockermouth (now Groton), combined with a portion of what was then called West Plymouth. Most early settlers arrived from New England towns, with no known first generation emigrants from Europe. The surface was rough, the soil rather stubborn; nevertheless, farming was the primary occupation. Other industries developed after the Mayhew Turnpike was built in 1803, connecting northern towns and lumber harvesting with southern cities and mills.[2] In 1859 the population was 565, when Hebron contained one store and a tannery.[3] By the 1920s, tourism developed into a major occupation, including summer lodges and winter skiing.[4]

Geography

Hebron sits at the north end of Newfound Lake, the fourth-largest lake in New Hampshire. The Cockermouth River, the primary feeder to the lake, enters the town from Groton to the west and passes the town center before entering the lake. Hebron lies fully within the Merrimack River watershed.[5] The highest point in Hebron is a knob with an elevation of {{convert|2240|ft|m}} above sea level just south of the summit of Tenney Mountain, near the town's northernmost point.

The town center, Hebron village, is located near the northwest corner of Newfound Lake, at the intersection of North Shore Road, West Shore Road, and Groton Road. New Hampshire Route 3A passes through the eastern part of town, following the east shore of Newfound Lake. The village of East Hebron is located near the northeast end of the lake, close to the intersection of Route 3A with North Shore Road.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|18.7|sqmi|1}}, of which {{convert|16.5|sqmi|1}} is land and {{convert|2.2|sqmi|1}} is water, comprising 11.64% of the town.[6]
