Chichester, New Hampshire

About this city

Chichester is a scenic, quiet rural valley town situated dynamically along the Suncook River in central New Hampshire, positioned flatly along the historic Highway 4 vacation corridor just miles east of the state capital. Incorporated in 1727 by Governor Samuel Shute and named after the historic cathedral city in England, the town maintained a fiercely proud, traditional agricultural identity for nearly three centuries. Today, Chichester serves as a serene residential hub, beautifully pairing its deep-rooted country hospitality with pristine public pine parks and historic architectural gems.
