Antrim, New Hampshire The quaint New England town of Antrim, NH may be small in population, but it's big in community spirit. Located in southern NH's Hillsborough County, Antrim offers the quiet, small-town charm you can only find in New Hampshire. Parades, festivals and community gatherings are commonplace in this family-oriented town and moving to Antrim is itself like becoming part of a large family - a family that cares and helps each other out when needed. Antrim is a town like no other. Settled in 1741 by mostly Irish-Scotch immigrants, Antrim was named for County Antrim in Ireland. The town was incorporated in 1778 and the first Presbyterian Church was built in 1788. Using power from the nearby Contoocook River, Antrim began constructing mills and producing lumber, grains, wool, silk and steel products. After the Second World War, Antrim started changing from a small manufacturing town to more of a bedroom community for the large nearby cities of Manchester, Keene and Nashua. Still proud of it's history, Antrim residents celebrate the town's roots each year with fairs and harvest festivals the likes of which only a New England town can host. Move to Antrim, NH and you will likely become a part of the celebration.

Organizers are always looking for people to help out with everything from putting on a bake sale to building a parade float. Volunteers help with the town's website, the town hall renovation, the elementary school playground, and countless other activities. Being a small town, Antrim doesn't have it's own theater or many shopping plazas, but that's why people who live in Antrim live in Antrim: it's a small town that hasn't lost touch with its humble beginnings. For the excitement and convenience of a city, you need only drive a half hour west to find the large college city of Keene, or a half hour east for the Granite State's largest city, Manchester.
