Bradford, New Hampshire With less than 1600 residents living in town, Bradford, New Hampshire is one of the smallest incorporated towns in the Granite State. “Out of the way” doesn’t begin to describe this tiny town’s location in southwest-central New Hampshire, a state already known for its small, tucked-in-the-woods hamlets. Bradford is a town out of history with its 150 year-old covered bridge, centuries-old homes and sleepy mainstreet appearance. The area to become Bradford was granted in 1771. Because many of the settlers originated from Bradford, Massachusetts, the town was first dubbed “New Bradford” then redubbed “Bradfordton”, a name that certainly doesn’t roll off the tongue. In 1787, the year before the constitution was officially ratified, the town was incorporated and renamed “Bradford”. Farming was the most common means of support, but over time several mills sprung up in the area producing lumber, grains and even apple cider. The advent of the railroad in the mid to late 1800’s helped farmers and mill owners to ship their goods throughout the New England area. The railroad eventually failed, as did most of the farms and mills. Today, Bradford is a quiet rural town that sweeps you back to a simpler era every time you’re fortunate enough to visit. When you live in New Hampshire, you appreciate the beauty of natural surroundings and the great outdoors. Miles of rocky and sandy coastline, thousands of acres of undisturbed woodlands, towering mountains and rolling hillsides are all things New Hampshire. Bradford is tucked in the rolling foothills of the Appalachian Mountain Range lending to spectacular views right from your own front door as well as plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy. Hiking, fishing, boating, camping – Bradford is an outdoorsman’s paradise. There are also plenty of things going on to keep the kids busy, from organized baseball and soccer games to the Boyscouts and Girlscouts of America. Bradford is a great town in which to retire or purchase a second home, as real estate is plentiful in Bradford and the residents are warm and friendly.
