Merrimack NH real estate offers a variety of homes to fit nearly any budget or lifestyle. Merrimack is located in Hillsborough County, in Southern New Hampshire. It was originally part of the Massachusetts charter of Dunstable. When the border between Massachusetts and New Hampshire was drawn in 1741, Dunstable was split in half. The first log cabin was built in Merrimack in the year 1665, but the area was not settled in any real sense until the 1720s. In 1746, the town was incorporated and named for the river that flows through the town. (See more information about Merrimack New Hampshire below.)

A ferry landing was established in 1766 to improve the trade and travel route between Litchfield and Merrimack. In 1784 operation of the ferry passed to Matthew Thornton, a highly respected Revolutionary War veteran and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. This section of town is still known as Thornton’s Ferry, sometimes spelled without the apostrophe. Other villages in town are Reeds Ferry, Souhegan Village, and South Merrimack. The center of town is not officially known as Merrimack Village, but is sometimes casually referred to that way.
