Once a part of Old Dunstable, Massachusetts, Pelham broke from the Massachusetts town when the NH/Mass border was changed in 1741. Five years later, the town was incorporated and named Pelham by colonial governor Benning Wentworth. Wentworth often named southern New Hampshire towns for relatives and friends and Henry Pelham, Prime Minister of the U.K. at the time, was only one of many Wentworth relatives with a New Hampshire town namesake. Primarily a farming community until after the Second World War, Pelham still maintains the quaint country charm that towns in New Hampshire are well known for.
