The British Grand Design was that New Hampshire would become a major New World fishing port for the harvesting of salted fish. It had limited success but failed to meet the investors expectation's.
New Hampshire was one of a small number of colonies (I think Massachusetts was the only other one) that had its own constitution prior to the establishment of the US Constitution. But it was New Hampshire's ratification and signing of the US Constitution in June of 1788 that established the US as a nation, and the Constitution as the law of the US. This is because New Hampshire was the 9th of the 9 required ratifying states to accept the Constitution. So it was really at that time that New Hampshire was established as a state in the union.
While they were mostly Church of England it was not founded by a religious group or for religious motivations.
New Hampshire
New Hampshire was granted its own charter as an independent colony in 1679 due to its growing population and economic development, which necessitated a more autonomous governance structure. Previously part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, New Hampshire sought independence to better manage its affairs, particularly in response to local grievances regarding Massachusetts' control. The establishment of a separate charter allowed for self-governance and the establishment of local laws, reflecting the colony's unique identity and needs.

The proprietor of New Hampshire was John Mason, who was granted the territory by the Council for New England in 1622. Mason's involvement set the stage for the establishment of the colony, although he never actually visited it. After his death, the land was eventually divided and settled by various groups, leading to New Hampshire's development as a distinct colony.
One reason to come to New Hampshire is the rich history of the area. Having been one of the first areas of the new world to be colonized by the British and French, New Hampshire is home to some beautiful historic architecture.
