New Hampshire

Colonists were armed and often had a small contingent of trained professionals with them to provide security,

The rivers were the primary transportation route.

i think that the english settled in new hampshire

Like the rest of the 13 colonies many had the right to self rule, where they could govern their own activities as long as they remained loyal to the King.

Most of New England was settled by the English. Inventing new names for the places they settled was never a high priority. In fact, it is very rare for anyone to think up a "new name". I'll bet your name is the same name shared by thousands of people. When the settlers from England had a new place they were settling and it needed a name they usually chose a name that was already familiar to them from their life in England. There is a Hampshire in Southern England and so they named this new place "New Hampshire". Not very original but it probably also helped them feel a little more at home to have places named like that.

It got its name from a little county on the southern cost of England. Most places with a "new" are from Europe.

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.

they were stone cutters. they cut and made bricks and other things out of stone.

1. The Colony needed a name,
2. The names of Massachusetts Bay and Virginia were already spoken for,
3. Nothing had so far been named to honor the southern County of Hampshire in England and it was available and free. Perhaps some consideration was given to naming it after Queen Boudica and other locations like Northumbria or Wessex or Kent were surely also available. West Warwickshire or West Worcestershire may not even have been considered.
4. Perhaps no-one will ever know for sure.

They would farm mostly, because they were originally designated to fish, but had poor fishing, so many switched to providing food by farming and trading with others.

The Ossipee and Pequawket bands of Abenaki occupied most of the area that became New Hampshire, with the Pennacook people in the southern portion. These two tribes spoke dialects of the same Algonquian language and were allies.

In 1614, John Smith explored what is now New Hampshire. By 1623, settlers founded New Hampshire's first permanent non-Indian town. Today that town is Hover. John Mason named New Hampshire in 1629 after Hampshire, England. In 1641, it was part of Massachusetts, but by 1680 it was made a colony by New England

Colonial N.H. was the 19th colony to be created in the americas, part of the New England cololnies. Craeted by John Manson , John created NH to become a fishing town in 1622-1623.

While they were mostly Church of England it was not founded by a religious group or for religious motivations.

In 1623, New Hampshire was a well run fishing community, with fish drying racks already set up. Early settlers came as part of a well planned effort by the English monarch and Parliament, providing free land as long as it was understood it would always remain under English rule. A landscape of towns were constructed and life went on much the way it would in an English village during this time. The people were members of the Church of England and considered themselves still citizens of Great Britain.

He was an able seaman and a qualified cartographer but in truth he never set foot on the New Hampshire Colony. The patent for what is now New Hampshire was part of a larger grant that he shared with Sir Ferdinando Gorges. They divided it along the Piscataqua River and Gorges got Maine and Mason got New Hampshire. Mason sent David Thompson and his party ahead to establish a fishing village while he prepared other groups of colonists for the journey. He died before the group he was to lead could leave England.

　they are potatoes and tobacco, but you might want to check that answer. ;)

It became the ninth state in 1788.

People left Massachusetts to get to New Hampshire because they were looking for freedom and better farmland. The freedom they were looking for was to get better farm land. In Massachusetts they gave all the good land to the rich, and all the not so good land ended up with the poor. So the people who left wanted better farm land so they separated to find it.

Glacial scraping removed much of the topsoil from parts of the state but trees do well and fruit production is excellent in some locales. Rocly soils are generally poor producers of root vegetables and inhibit efficient use of mechanical farming.
