New Hampshire was named after Hampshire, England, by Captain John Mason. New Hampshire is noted for its
scenic beauty, from
Mount Washington in the northern
White Mountains, to the
ocean beaches near
Hampton. The state is sometimes referred to as the ‘Mother of Rivers’ and is also known as the ‘Granite State’, as five of the great streams of New England originate in its
granite hills. The state is hilly and rocky, with many areas of dense forests.
