Dover, New Hampshire

Dover is a city in Strafford Couny, in southeastern New Hampshire. It covers 29 sq mi (75.2 sq km) and has a population of 30,000 people.

The Dover area was first explored in Europeans in 1603. This led to a settlement established by two brothers, William and Edward Hilton, who named it Hilton's Point, in 1623. The Hilton name survives today at Hilton Park, the site where the brothers landed, at the confluence of the Cochecho and Bellamy rivers.

Hilton's Point was renamed Dover in 1637, changed to Northam in 1639, and reverted again to Dover in 1641. The name is said to be given in honor of Robert Dover, an English lawyer who resisted Puritanism.

Visiting Dover

Dover is served by the Spaulding Turnpike connecting it with Rochester and Portsmouth.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
