The area to become Hooksett was originally known as Chester Woods and Rowe’s Corner. First settled some time in the early- to mid-1700’s, the name was changed to Hooksett around 1775. The reason for this is only speculated upon now, but many assume it was named for the hook-shaped island in the Merrimack River near the village. Hooksett residents were primarily farmers, fisherman or worked in the mills powered by the Merrimack. The mills began producing textiles in the form of cotton and woolen materials, but because of increased competition from the mills in the city of Manchester to the south, lumber mills and other types of mills started popping up. The town of Hooksett was finally incorporated in 1822 Living in Hooksett means you never have to travel far to get what you need.
