A state of the northeast United States between Vermont and Maine. It was admitted as one of the original Thirteen Colonies in 1788.

New Hampshire was the first colony to declare its independence from Great Britain and the first to establish its own government (January 1776). Concord is the capital and Manchester the largest city.
