INTRODUCTION.
Manchester, the largest city in New Hampshire, is situated in Hillsborough County, on both sides of the Merrimack river, and was incorporated in 1751 by the name of Derryfield, which was changed to Manchester in 1810. The town was composed of a portion of Chester and Londonderry and a strip of ungranted land lying between those towns and the Merrimack river. In 1853 a portion of Bedford, including Piseatagnog village, and a portion of Goffstown, including Amoskeag village, were annexed to Manchester.
The territory was originally a favorite resort of the Indians, on account of the fish, which were very abun- dant in the river, and Passaconnaway and other chiefs of the Pennacook tribe resided here a portion of the time.
The first settlement by the whites was made on Cohas brook, near Goffe's Falls, by John Goffe and others, in 1722, and settlements were made soon after near Amos- keag Falls, by Archibald Stark, the father of Gen. John Stark, and others, and at the Center by John Hall, William Gamble and others.
The town was of but little importance previous to 1837, and the population was less than 900 at that time. The people supported themselves mostly by farming.
. Cotton manufacturing on a small scale was introduced at Amoskeag village (then in Goffstown) in 1809. In 1825 the business was much increased. Three small mills were erected, and sheetings, shirtings, and tickings of a superior quality were manufactured. The tickings, which were soldl under the trade-mark "A. C. A.," were soon in great demand throughout the country, and their deservedly high reputation in the market has always been maintained. In 1831 the owners of these mills and others formed a company, and were incorporated as the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, with a capital of $1,600,000. Fifteen hundred acres of land lying on the east side of the river were purchased, and the founda- tions of a great manufacturing town were laid. A new (lam across the river, with guard-locks, and a canal nearly a mile in length, were constructed to utilize the great hydranlie power which was afforded by the fall in the river of nearly sixty feet in the course of a mile.
The Amoskeag Company erected their mills on the east side of the river, in 1841. No. 3 mill was built in

1843, No. 4 in 1848, and No. 5 in 1856; No. 6 mill was then built between Nos. 1 and 2, making one mill of the three. Since that time, five other large mills have been erected. In 1874, No. 3 mill was entirely rebuilt.
Within a few years this corporation has made very im- portant improvements. The course of the river has been changed so that a large amount of land has been rendered available for sites of mills and for other pur- poses connected with manufacturing operations.
The Amoskeag Company sold to other corporations a portion of its water-power and sites for manufactories, and also for boarding-houses, etc.
The Stark Mills Corporation, which was incorporated in 1838, was the first company to purchase mill-power, and this company erected two mills in 1838 and 1839, be- ing the first mills erected in the new village on the east side of the river. In 1845, No. 3 mill was erected, and a few years afterwards No. I and No. 2 were united by another mill, and all were consolidated into one, making two first-class mills.
The Manchester Print-Works Corporation, which was chartered in 1839, erected their first mill in 1845, and two other buildings for the printing department were soon after erected. In March, 1874, the property was sold to Samuel R. Payson.
The Manchester Mills were chartered in 1873, under the name of Manchester Print-Works and Mills, which name was changed to Manchester Mills in 1874, under which the company organized, taking the property pur- chased by Samuel R. Payson, which has been greatly improved in the buildings and machinery.
The Langdon Mills Corporation was chartered in 1857, and commenced operations in 1860. In 1868 the company erected a very large mill and three fine blocks for boarding-houses, besides other necessary buildings.
The Amory Manufacturing Company was chartered in 1879, and built a large, first-class mill of 56,000 spindles.
The population and business of the new town rapidly increased from 1837 to 1846, when a city charter was ob- tained. Since that date there has been a steady increase of the population, until now there is a population of about 40,000, and the five great corporations now have in operation twenty-three very large mills, which give employment to nearly 12,000 operatives. Besides these great enterprises, there is a very large number of other manufacturing interests which add to the importance of the city, and furnish employment to a considerable number of persons.
The following are some of the statistics of the re- sources and business of the great corporations and other manufacturing enterprises of the city, and also statistics relating to the city government, schools, churches, banks, charitable associations, etc.
