History

Wolfeboro is a picturesque town located in Carroll County, New Hampshire, USA. It is known for its rich history, charming small-town atmosphere, and its position on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, the largest lake in New Hampshire. Here's a brief overview of Wolfeboro's history:

  • Colonial Period and Settlement:Wolfeboro was first settled in the mid-18th century. In 1759, four young men from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, including Governor John Wentworth, explored the area and were impressed by the natural beauty and resources of the region. The governor named the town "Wolfeborough" in honor of British General James Wolfe, who had recently captured Quebec in the French and Indian War.
