Nashua, NH. Originally part of a grant to Edward Tyng of Dunstable, England, the 200 square mile area, called Dunstable, included Nashua, Tyngsboro MA, and other border towns. In 1741 the town was cut in half when the Massachusetts-New Hampshire border was established. The northern half kept the name Dunstable. In 1836 the town took the Nashua River's name, a Nashaway Indian word for "beautiful river with a pebbly bottom." Nashua became a manufacturing center, powered by the Middlesex Canal which connected the Merrimack River to Boston. It was incorporated as a city in 1853. US Route 3 crosses Nashua, running from Massachusetts into far northern New Hampshire.

Nashua was ravaged by fire, flood and a hurricane in the 1930's. Nashua is one of the states largest cities.
