Center Harbor was originally a part of New Hampton but broke off in 1797 to become its own town. Incorporated that same year, the town gets its name from its location: centered between Moultonborough Harbor and Meredith Harbor, but also from the fact that a prominent family in town was named Senter. A popular landing for steamships on the lake and stagecoaches on the road, the town soon became an attractive resort for summertime vacationers. Center Harbor has little industry and focuses on tourism as its main source of income. Center Harbor is a member of SAU #2 and has no in-town schools of their own, choosing instead to tuition all students to the Inter-Lakes Schools in neighboring Meredith, NH. There are currently no plans on the table to construct any schools in Center harbor. You won’t find a more beautiful town than Center Harbor in the state of New Hampshire.
