About Hart’s Location, New Hampshire in brief
Hart’s Location is a town in Carroll County, New Hampshire, United States. Since 1948, the town has been one of the first places to declare its results for the New Hampshire presidential primary and U.S. presidential elections. The town is home to Crawford Notch State Park, which is noted for a rugged wilderness beauty. Hart’s Location was named after Colonel John Hart of Portsmouth. In 1772, the land was granted to Thomas Chadbourne, also of Portsmouth, and it was incorporated in 1795. In 1825, Samuel Willey, Jr. and his wife, five children, and two hired hands died in a landslide known as Willey’s Slide.
Their tragedy inspired “The Ambitious Guest” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Mount Willey was named in their memory. The shape of the town is unusual: about 11 miles long and 1. 5 miles wide, with crooked boundaries that echo the confines of Crawford notch, threaded by the upper Saco River and the U. S. Route 302 near the centerline. The highest point in Hart’s location is 3,900 feet above sea level along the town’s western boundary, beneath the summit of 4,285-foot MountWilley. Arethusa Falls, the neighboring township of Livermore, is a popular hiking destination with access from U. S. Route 302.
