Pembroke, New Hampshire is a small, scenic town located near the state capital in Concord. Pembroke received its name from Governor Benning Wentworth in honor of the Earl of Pembroke, England. The word Pembroke means “head of the foam.”
In 1725, a group of Massachusetts colonists clashed with Native Americans in this area in an attempt to drive them out of the territory. The King of England granted land in the area to the survivors of the Indian war. In 1759, the Town of Pembroke was formally named and incorporated by Governor Wentworth.
During the Industrial Revolution, a number of large mills were built along the banks of the Suncook River, just north of the Merrimack River. Three sides of the town are defined by the course of three rivers: the Soucook, the Merrimack and the Suncook. These rivers and their tributaries have played an important part in the history and geology of Pembroke.
The Town of Pembroke has many uniquely different types of environments. The urban center of town, historically known as Suncook, is located just north of the confluence of the Suncook and Merrimack Rivers. A wide variety of businesses occupy historic 19th century buildings along the tree-lined streets. Development along the main access corridor of Route 3 is characterized by large early New England homes.
The Buck Street area of town is largely agricultural, with several old farms still operating along the floodplain of the Suncook River. The center and northern areas of Pembroke are noted for their sparsely settled development pattern. These areas are characterized by large house lots and a rural wooded environment.
Pembroke’s main formal recreation area is Memorial Field, located on a plain at the junction of the Suncook and Merrimack Rivers. The Recreation Commission offers a summer swimming program and recreation program for the town’s children. In addition, the town has constructed 4 tennis courts to be used by the school and the public. Pembroke is also home to Plausawa Valley Country Club, an 18 hole semi-private golf course open to the public.
The Town of Pembroke features three conservation areas and a town forest. These areas are used for hiking, cross-country skiing, fishing and nature-watching.

NEW HAMPSHIRE (NH) THE BEAUTIFUL -- "LIVE FREE OR DIE"
"Why did you move to New Hampshire?"
Most newcomers would answer that question with three simple words: "quality of life." This is an area where young parents want to raise their kids and then stay once the nest is empty - where neighbor knows neighbor, strong community ties develop and friendships endure. There is an unmistakable feeling of COMING HOME to the beauty of a land that overwhelms you and makes you want to live here forever.
Tucked into a corner of the northeastern United States, the state is the most mountainous of the six contiguous states that comprise New England. Shaped like a right triangle, the "Granite State" shares a boundary with the Canadian province of Quebec to the north, the winding Connecticut River and the state of Vermont to the west, the state of Maine and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and Massachusetts to the south.
Anywhere you choose to call home in the state is just a short day trip from the city, the mountains or the ocean. The Merrimack Valley and Seacoast regions, which make up most of the southern tier, are each about an hour from the many attractions of the greater Boston area. Less than a 2-hour drive to the north are the majestic mountains of the Presidential range and the extensive waterways that form the Lakes Region.
Whatever your lifestyle, New Hampshire the Beautiful has a region to suit it!
