The region, now occupied by New Hampshire, was populated by Amerindians
Pennacooks (Algonquins) namely - when the first Europeans - the English
navigator Martin Pring, in 1603, and the French Samuel de Champlain, in 1605 -
explored the coasts. In 1620, King Jacques I ER of England granted the region
to the News-England Council (ancienne Plymouth Company), and after receiving the
title of Maine province, the province in 1629 is named as New Hampshire. Several
trade counters were then established, of which Strawbery Banke, today
Portsmouth, the state's only major port.
After proclaiming its independence in 1776, New Hampshire was the ninth of
the thirteen founding states to join the Union, on June 21, 1788. The industrial
sector, notably textiles, and transport, subsequently benefited rapidly from
expansion, causing an important French-Canadian immigration vacancy, attracted
by the possibility of finding a job in the shoe and textile industries.
Urbanization experienced exponential growth in the twentieth century,
parallel to the general industrialization movement in the country; however, in
the mid-1960s, the shoe industry collapsed, prompting the New Hampshire State
economy to progressively recycle and diversify into high-tech (electronics) and
tourism industries, particularly favored for two decades and constantly
development. In 1990 finally, despite strong opposition from ecologists, the
state gave its authorization for the construction of the Seabrook nuclear power
plant.

New Hampton School - New Hampton
The New Hampton School is a private school in New Hampton, New Hampshire. The
boarding school is currently attended by 325 students in grades 9-12. In
addition to American students, students from 30 countries also attend school,
but the proportion of international students is still low for boarding school at
26%. The campus is large and beautifully situated. The equipment with the
student homes, photography laboratories, theater, art studio, sports fields, a
ski and snowboard center and much more leaves nothing to be desired.
The school offers the IB program. Pupils can take courses at a very high level
and even get an international degree. Subjects such as visual art, chemistry,
biology, English and history can be taken at IB level. The school offers a total
of 49 different IB courses, so the selection is very large. For those who are
not interested in the IB program, there are of course many interesting subjects
to choose from, including sports medicine, agroecology and American literature.
A wide variety is offered to students in the areas of sport and art. These
include horse riding or field hockey in autumn, skiing or snowboarding in winter
or playing tennis in spring. Students can try school theater or be part of
theater production, take part in an animation course (the school works closely
with the Walt Disney Film Museum here), take a photography course, or try film
production.
The boarding students live in one of 12 different dorms on campus. There are
also many common areas where students can spend their time together. Here you
can play table football, billiards or table tennis, chat or look for a little
peace. Of course, the students are always offered new activities and excursions
so that it doesn't get boring. Sometimes there is a talent show, live bands
play, there are hiking excursions, you go to whale watching or to the outlet
mall.
New Hampshire is part of the New Zealand States and a great country to spend
your year abroad. The state borders Vermont, Massachusetts and Maine. The New
England states are known for their very good level of education, so there are
also many Ivy League universities here. There are beautiful mountains, lakes,
beaches and much more. The campus is located at the foot of the White Mountains
and is a dream destination for all outdoor fans. Universities,
