About this city
Jefferson is a rustic, scenic mountain township situated flatly along the northern slopes of the Presidential Range within the White Mountain National Forest, boasting unparalleled views of Mount Washington. Incorporated in 1796 and named dynamically to honor Thomas Jefferson, then the U.S. Vice President, the town features a high-elevation alpine topography defined by dense subarctic pine forests and crystal streams. Jefferson expertly preserves its 19th-century agrarian roots while hosting iconic, long-operating retro family amusement parks that have captured the hearts of generations.
