About us
Dover is a city located in Strafford County, in the Seacoast region of eastern New Hampshire, near the border with Maine. It is the oldest permanent European settlement in New Hampshire, established in 1623, and the seventh oldest in the United States. Dover was originally settled by fishermen and traders from England in 1623, known as the Cochecho Plantation, adopting the Abenaki name. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Dover developed a thriving shipbuilding industry along the Piscataqua River. By the 19th century, it had become a leading manufacturer of cotton goods, utilizing the water power of the Cochecho River to operate several mills. The textile industry declined in the 20th century, but Dover's economy diversified into manufacturing automotive trim, electric motors, printing presses, fabrics, shoes, plastics, and electronic equipment. As of the 2020 census, Dover had a population of 32,741, making it the largest city in the New Hampshire Seacoast region and the fifth-largest municipality in the state. It serves as the county seat of Strafford County and is home to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, the Woodman Institute Museum, and the Children's Museum of New Hampshire. Dover has been recognized as one of the top 100 places to live in the country by Money Magazine, praised for its thriving businesses, expanding arts and cultural scene, diverse dining options, notable history, strong community, and beautiful scenery. It has been the fastest-growing city in New Hampshire over the past decade, with its population increasing by over 9% from 2010 to 2020.
