What to Do in Nashua

Learn More

New Hampshire’s second most populous city, located at the confluence of the Merrimack and Nashua rivers, has a history dating to the 1650s. Way back then it was known as Dunstable, founded as a fur-trading settlement. Like other New England riverfront towns, Nashua’s 19th-century development was fueled by textile mills running on water power—an industry that today is only a historical footnote.
