Dover, Historical settlement in New Hampshire Seacoast region, United States
Located at an elevation of 15 meters, Dover extends along the Cochecho River with numerous brick buildings forming its downtown district.
The Hilton brothers established Dover in 1623 as the first permanent settlement in New Hampshire, initially naming it Bristol before its renaming in 1637.
The Dover Art Walk occurs monthly, while the Cochecho Arts Festival brings music and theater performances to the city during summer months.
The city connects to major routes including New Hampshire Routes 4, 9, 16, 108, and 155, providing access to Portsmouth just 10 miles away.
The first women's labor strike in the United States took place in Dover during 1828 when female textile workers protested against poor conditions.
