History

Bedford, New Hampshire, like other towns in southern NH, was established in 1733 by a land grant from Massachusetts. It was first known as Narragansett No. 5, in honor of the soldiers that fought the Narragansett Indians. It was then incorporated as the town of Bedford in 1750, following the state’s formal separation from Massachusetts. Many of its early residents were newly emigrated from Ireland.
