Littleton, New Hampshire, is one of the larger towns in Northern New Hampshire. Situated in Grafton County, it is neighbored by Bethlehem, Dalton, Lisbon, and Monroe. Its most beautiful border is the Moore Reservoir on the Connecticut River.

Essentially at the intersection of Route 302 and I-93, it’s easy to reach the White Mountains, Lincoln, and North Conway from here. A trip into Boston is longer but still an easy drive down the highway. Plenty of travelers coming through this part of New England stop here, given its quintessential New England charm.

Outdoor Recreation Options

The White Mountains provide a wealth of adventures, but residents don’t need to go far to enjoy the outdoors. Just a few highlights right near town include:

  • Connecticut River
  • Moore Reservoir
  • Kilburn Crags
  • Parker Mountain

The Moore Reservoir section of the Connecticut River is an especially popular highlight, as it can be enjoyed from land or on water. Picturesque views, walking trails, and birdwatching appeal to almost everyone. For those who enjoy the water, boating, paddleboarding, fishing, and swimming are favorite warm-weather activities.

For those who don’t mind working a little harder for their views, the Kilburn Crags is a relatively short (~1.5 miles round trip) trail with great views. The White Mountains and Vermont’s Green Mountains make for striking landscapes on a clear day. Residents and visitors can regularly be seen walking, hiking, or trail running here.

History From Before New Hampshire Was a State

This town only became known as “Littleton” in 1784, when it was incorporated and New Hampshire became a state.

The area was originally called “Chiswick,” which is Saxon for “cheese farm.” The farm gave way to more settlement and was designated “Anthorp” in 1770. George Anthorp was one of the wealthiest businessmen in  Boston at the time, and the Anthorp family held most of the land. 

The land eventually was sold to associates of the Anthorp family, the foremost of which was Colonel Moses Little. The town’s current name is in his honor.

Throughout the town, there are sights dating back to Littleton’s early history. The Littleton Opera House, post office, Edward H. Lane House, community house, and Theyer’s Hotel are all on the National Register of Historic Places. 

Other points of local interest include the Eleanor H. Porter statue, covered bridge, Kilburn Brothers Building, and GC Allin’s gravesite. The riverwalk and downtown historical walk take people to many of these sights and historical places.

A Lively Town in Northern NH

Littleton today has a population of around 6,000 residents, which is more than many of the towns in Northern New Hampshire. Events are regularly held, from fireworks on July 4 to holiday celebrations in December.

The biggest celebration each year is Pollyanna of Littleton -- New Hampshire’s Official Pollyanna Day. The day of cheer, gladness, and celebration carries on the spirit of Pollyanna. She was a world-famous character created by Littleton author Eleanor H. Porter (whose bronze statue is in town). The event is held on the second Saturday in June each year.

Outside of the more major celebrations, there’s live music at The Loading Dock, children's events at the Littleton Library, shows at the Littleton Opera House, and a farmers market throughout summer.
