HISTORY

Originally know as Palmer’s Town, Meredith NH was first granted by the Mansion Proprietors to a group of settlers lead by Samuel Palmer in 1748. Samuel Palmer was a teacher of surveying and navigation and had laid out much of the surrounding land around Lake Winnipesaukee. Many of the settlers were from Salem, Massachusetts, so the town’s name was later changed to New Salem. The town’s name was changed once more when it was incorporated in 1768 as Meredith, by Governor John Wentworth. The name Meredith was in honor of Sir William Meredith, who had allied with William Pitt in opposition of taxation on the colonies.
