About this city
Gorham is a historic, rugged mountain valley metropolis positioned beautifully along the Androscoggin River within the northern tier of the Presidential Range in the White Mountains. Developed rapidly in the 1850s as a strategic locomotive repair division and grand resort terminal for the Grand Trunk Railway connecting Montreal and Atlantic ports, the city retains a powerful mountain frontier identity. Today, Gorham thrives globally as the ultimate strategic northern base camp and launching pad for all-terrain off-road motorized sports and extreme mountaineering.
