Nashua is part of a 200-sq-mile piece of land that was originally known as Dunstable. It was granted to Edward Tyng in 1673. That was when New Hampshire was part of Massachusetts, when the New Hampshire state was created, Dunstable was broken into two parts.
In 1836, Dunstable, New Hampshire, was renamed Nashua, after the Nashua River. For an eleven-year period from 1842, the town split into two, with the northern part calling itself Nashville, but the two parts eventually reconciled as the city of Nashua in 1853.
Nashua had a textile industry that prospered at the turn of the 20th century, but declined after the First World War. Today it has reinvented itself as part of the Boston-area high-tech corridor.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
