The population was 4,046 at the 2010 census.[1] Hinsdale is home to part of Pisgah State Park in the northeast, and part of Wantastiquet Mountain State Forest in the northwest. The main village in town, where 1,548 people resided at the 2010 census,[1] is defined as the Hinsdale census-designated place (CDP) and is located at the junction of New Hampshire routes 119 and 63. History{{Refimprove section|date=April 2012}}Located in the southwestern corner of the state, Hinsdale was chartered in 1753. It was named for Colonel Ebenezer Hinsdale,[2] member of a prominent Deerfield, Massachusetts family, whose mother had been taken captive in the famed Deerfield Massacre of 1704. Graduated from Harvard College, Hinsdale was ordained to become a missionary for Indians of the Connecticut River Valley. Instead, he would serve as chaplain at Fort Dummer, an important trading post on the Connecticut River, later enlisting as an officer in the army. Then, in 1742, he established Fort Hinsdale, including a trading post and gristmill, reportedly at his own expense. The town's earliest history recounts Indian assaults, raids and captivities.[3] Located beside the Connecticut River and connected to Brattleboro, Vermont, by bridge, Hinsdale contains excellent farmland, but has been a significant center of industry as well, especially in the manufacture of paper. In a machine shop here, George A. Long built a self-propelled steam vehicle in 1875, the Long steam tricycle, for which he received one of the nation's earliest automobile patents. The oldest continually-operating post office in the United States, established in 1816, is located on Main Street.[4] From 1959 to 2008, the town was home to the Hinsdale Greyhound Park.[5] GeographyHinsdale is in the southwestern corner of New Hampshire, bordered to the west across the Connecticut River by Vermont and to the south by Massachusetts. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|22.7|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|20.6|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|2.2|sqmi}} is water, comprising 9.46% of the town.[6] The highest point in town is Wantastiquet Mountain, at {{convert|1378|ft|m}} above sea level, located on the town's northern boundary and overlooking the Connecticut River and Brattleboro, Vermont to the west. The entire town lies within the Connecticut River watershed, with roughly the northwestern two-thirds of town draining into small streams that feed directly into the Connecticut, and with the southeastern third of the town draining into the Ashuelot River, a major tributary of the Connecticut.[7] Hinsdale is served by state routes 63 and 119.
