Through carefully selected images, Stratham tells the story of a
rural town prior to suburban development. Surrounded by Greenland,
North Hampton, Exeter, and Newfields, Stratham has some of the
finest farmland in New Hampshire, longtime thriving river commerce
on the Swampscott, and road access from early Colonial times.
Discover an earlier Stratham in this unique and engaging pictorial
collection. Since the 17th century, generations of the same
families lived and worked in the community. Barkers, Chapmans,
Chases, Gowens, Scammans, and Wiggins, among others, farmed the
rich land, built mills, fished, raised and traded livestock,
developed a resort, and organized a vital civic life in Stratham.
The early residents built schools and a library, held community
social functions, and formed a still-existing volunteer fire
department. Located between the two early capitals of Portsmouth
and Exeter, road, rail, and water transportation linked Stratham to
the world. The images in this volume depict all aspects of
community life and feature such public monuments as the 1916 town
founding Bicentennial Parade, and the long-gone resort, the Elms.
