Hillsborough, New Hampshire, is named after Wills Hill, the 1st Earl of Hillsborough, who was a British politician in the 18th century. The town was incorporated in 1772, during a time when many American places were named after British nobles. Hillsborough played a role in early American history, and its name reflects the colonial ties to Britain.
