[edit] History

The Common c. 1904
The Common c. 1904

First granted in 1753, the town was named "Buckingham" after John Hobart, 1st Earl of Buckinghamshire. But numerous families from Kingston, Hampstead and Amesbury petitioned Colonial Governor Benning Wentworth to grant them land in compensation for property lost because of ancient land grants. Consequently, he granted them 29,000 acres (120 km²) in the former "Buckingham". Grantees were given land equivalent to what they felt they had a legal right to at their previous residences. Upon friendly resolution of the claim dispute in 1764, the town was named "Unity".

Situated on the Second New Hampshire Turnpike, an important trade route chartered in 1799, the town prospered. By 1810, the town had 1,044 inhabitants, with 2 grain mills, 5 sawmills, a clothing mill and a distillery. Sheep farming was a principal business.
