One of the original 13 states (it entered the Union in 1788), New
Hampshire was named after the English county of Hampshire. New
Hampshire is called the "Granite State" because of its numerous
granite quarries; the nickname may also reflect the state's
attachment to tradition and its history of a frugal government.
There are no general sales or individual income taxes, which fits
with the state motto of "Live free or die". A relatively small
state, New Hampshire plays a major role every four years in the
presidential election, as it holds the first primary election. New
Hampshire was first settled in 1623, just three years after the
Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts. New Hampshire's history is the
story of the transformation of a wilderness to farmland and then to
a thriving industrial society.
