Hilton's Point, now known as the city of Dover was the first sttlement in New Hampshire.

Hilton's Point of Landing

In 1623, Captain John Mason sent a Scotsman, David Thomson, and two fish-mongers from The Company of Laconia in London, William and Edward Hilton, under the authority of an English land grant to settle what is now known as New Hampshire. They landed near the confluence of the Cochecho, Bellamy, and Piscataqua rivers to establish their fishing industry. This was the first settlement in New Hampshire originally called Hilton's Point; now the City of Dover.

A Brief History of New Hampshire

Early historians record that in 1623, under the authority of an English land-grant, Captain John Mason, in conjunction with several others, sent David Thomson, a Scotsman, and Edward and Thomas Hilton, fish-merchants of London, with a number of other people in two divisions to establish a fishing colony in what is now New Hampshire, at the mouth of the Piscataqua River.

One of these divisions, under Thomson, settled near the river's mouth at a place they called Little Harbor or "Pannaway," now the town of Rye, where they erected salt-drying fish racks and a "factory" or stone house. The other division under the Hilton brothers set up their fishing stages on a neck of land eight miles above, which they called Northam, afterwards named Dover. http://www.doverwasfirst.com/hilton.html
