Hooksett sits along the Merrimack River, just north of Manchester. Residents of Hooksett enjoy the peace of living among the natural beauty of New England. And because Hooksett is conveniently located between the state's largest city, Manchester, and the state's capital, Concord, everything one would need is nearby.
Hooksett has a history of it's very own. The Town of Hooksett was incorporated in 1822. Hooksett is operated under a Town Charter form of government. We have a full time Town Administrator and nine Town Councilors. One of the most striking buildings in town is the Hooksett Village Railroad Bridge, which has been in existence for around 100 years and was crucial to early economic development. A number of buildings throughout town have been restored to accurately reflect the historic nature of the town.
Hooksett's proximity to the Merrimack River and Bear Brook State Park, one of the largest state parks in NH, provide numerous opportunities for camping, hiking, fishing and biking. The rolling hills of southern New Hampshire lend themselves to scenic drives as well. Hooksett maintains four parks within town limits and sponsors the Hooksett Youth Athletic Association (includes baseball, softball, soccer, football and basketball)
Hooksett provides quick access to both Concord and Manchester via US 3, Highway 3A, and the F.E. Everett Turnpike.
