Visit Concord guideAbout Chichester
Nestled in the rolling hills of Merrimack County, Chichester embodies the quintessential New Hampshire small-town charm that feels both timeless and welcoming. This rural community of just under 3,000 residents has managed to preserve its agricultural heritage and natural beauty while remaining conveniently connected to the Concord area and southern New Hampshire's economic opportunities. The town's landscape is dotted with historic farmhouses, stone walls, and expansive fields that tell the story of generations who have called this peaceful corner of the Granite State home. Founded in 1727 and originally part of Canterbury, Chichester became its own entity in 1727, taking its name from the English cathedral city. Today, the town maintains its rural character through careful planning and a strong sense of community pride. Residents enjoy the benefits of country living—from starlit skies unmarred by light pollution to the freedom of wide-open spaces—while being just a short drive from New Hampshire's capital city and all the amenities it offers.
