 Manchester, the largest city in New Hampshire, is situated in 
 Hillsborougli County, on both sides of the Merrimack River, and 
 was incori)orated in 1751 by the name of Derryfield, which was 
 changed to Manchester in 1810. The town was composed of a por- 
 tion of Chester and Londonderry and a strip of ungranted land 
 lying between those towns and the Merrimack River. In 1853 a 
 portion of Bedford, including Piscataquog Village, and a portion 
 of Croffstown, including Amoskeag Village, were annexed to Man- 
 chester. 
 
 The territory was originally a favorite resort of the Indians on 
 account of the fish which were very abundant in the river, aud 
 Passaconnaway and other chiefs of the Pennacook tribe resided 
 here a portion of the time. 
 
 The first settlement by the whites was made on Cohas Brook 
 near Goffe's Falls, by John Goffe and others, in 1722, and settle- 
 ments were made soon after near Amoskeag Falls by Archibald 
 Stark, the father of Gen. John Stark, and others, and at the Cen- 
 ter by John Hall, William Gamble and others. 
 
 The town was of but little importance previous to 1837, and the 
 population was less than nine hundred at that time. The people 
 supported themselves mostly by farming. 
 
 Cotton manufacturing on a small scale was introduced at Amos- 
 keag Village (then in Goft'stown) in 1809. In 1825 the business 
 was much increased. Three small mills were erected, and sheet- 
 ings, shirtings and tickings of a superior quality were maimfac- 
 tured. The tickings which were sold under the trade mark A. C. A. 
 were soon in great demand throughout the country, and their de- 
 servedly high reputation in the market has always been main- 
 tained. In 1831 the owners of these mills and others formed a 
 company, and were incorporated as the Amoskeag Manufacturing 
 Company, with a capital of $1,GOO,000. Fifteen hundred acres of 
 land lying on the east side of the river were purchased, and the 
 foundations of a great manufacturing town were laid. A new 
 dam across the river, with guard locks, and a canal nearly a mile 
 in length, were constructed to utilize the great hydraulic power 
 which was afforded by the fall in the river of nearlj' sixty feet 
 in the course of a mile.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The Ainoskeag Company erected their mills on the east side of 
 the river in 1841. No. 3 mill was built in 1843, No. 4 in 1848, and 
 No. 5 in 1850. Since that time four other large mills have been 
 erected, making ten in all. In 1874, No. 3 mill was entirely re- 
 built. 
 
 Within a few years this corporation has made very important 
 improvements. The course of the river has been changed so that 
 a large amount of land has been rendered available for sites 
 of mills and for other purposes connected with manufacturing 
 operations. 
 
 The Amoskeag Company sold to other corporations a portion of 
 its water-power and sites for manufactures, and also for board- 
 ing-houses, &c. 
 
 The Stark Mills Corporation, which was incorporated in 1838, 
 was the first company to purchase mill-power, and this company 
 I erected two mills in 1838 and 183l>, being the first mills erected in 
 I the new village on the east side of the river. In 1845 No. 3 mill 
 I was erected, and a few years afterwards No. 1 and No. 2 were 
 ! united by another mill, and all were consolidated into one, making 
 I two first-class mills. 
 
 The Manchester Print-Works Corporation, which was chartered 
 in 1830, erected their first mill in 1845, and two other buildings 
 I for the printing department were erected soon after. In INlarcli, 
 I 1874, the property was sold to Samuel R. Payson. 
 
 j The Manchester Mills were chartered in 1873, under the name 
 of Manchester Print- Works and Mills, wliich name was changed to 
 
 ' Manchester Mills in 1874, under which the company organized, 
 taking the property purchased by Samuel R. Payson, which has 
 been greatly improved in the buildings and machinery. 
 
 The Langdon Mills Corporation was chartered in 1857, and com- 
 menced operations in 1860. In 1868 the company erected a very 
 large mill and three fine blocks for boarding-houses, besides other 
 necessary buildings. 
 
 The population and business of the new town rapidly increased 
 from 1837 to 1840, when a city charter was obtained. Since that 
 date there has been a steady increase of the population, until now 
 there is a population of about 30,000, and the four great corpora- 
 tions now have in operation twenty very large mills which give 
 employment to nearly ten thousand operatives. Besides these 
 great enterprises, there is a very large number of other manufac- 
 turing interests which add to the importance of the city, and fur- 
 nish employment to a considerable number of persons. The fol- 
 lowing are some of the statistics of the resources and business of 
 the great corporations and other manufacturing enterprises of the 
 city, and also statistics relating to the city government, schools, 
 churches, banks, charitable associations, &c., &c.
