Under an English land grant, Capt. John Smith sent settlers to establish a fishing
colony at the mouth of the Piscataqua River, near present-day Rye and Dover, in
1623. Capt. John Mason, who participated in the founding of Portsmouth in 1630,
gave New Hampshire its name.
After a 38-year period of union with Massachusetts, New Hampshire was made a separate
royal colony in 1679. As leaders in the revolutionary cause, New Hampshire delegates
received the honor of being the first to vote for the Declaration of Independence
on July 4, 1776. New Hampshire gained a measure of international attention in
1905 when Portsmouth Naval Base played host to the signing of the treaty ending
the Russo-Japanese War, known as the Treaty of Portsmouth.
