A Traveler's Guide to Manchester

Manchester is a city that is located in the southern portion of the US state of New Hampshire. It is the largest city in the state and also the largest city in northern New England. It sits on the banks of the Merrimack River in Hillsborough County. Manchester was recently voted as the second most tax friendly city in the United States and the 13th best city to start a business in by CNN. English is the primary spoken and written language in Manchester.

The region of Manchester was originally called "good fishing place" in the original Native American language because of the great fishing along the Merrimack River. The city has a rich history, but one of the most important dates in the city’s history is 1807. That is the year that Samuel Blodget constructed a canal and lock system that allowed ships to pass around the falls and on up the Merrimack River. This opened the area to shipping and railroad industries. Soon the city was home to several manufacturing companies and industrial centers. The city has continued to be friendly to businesses with its favorable tax climate and healthy revenue streams.

Manchester has a humid continental climate, which means warm summers and cool winters. Summer temperatures generally stay in the 80's Fahrenheit and winter temperatures can dip well below freezing Fahrenheit from time to time. Snowfall occurs periodically, but rainfall occurs year round, with most of the rain coming in the months of June through August.

There are several venues for the performing arts in Manchester. These include the Palace Theater and the Verizon Wireless Arena which hosts several musical and sporting events. The Currier Museum of Art and the New Hampshire Institute of Art are well known art museums in the city that are popular with visitors and locals alike. Valley Cemetery is one of the oldest permanently maintained cemeteries in the northeast and is the final resting place of several of Manchester’s most prominent citizens.
