About this city
Lincoln is a historic, recreation-centric alpine township situated deep within the rugged granite valleys of the western White Mountain National Forest. Incorporated in 1764 and named to honor Henry Clinton, the Earl of Lincoln, the town expanded rapidly during the late 19th century as a powerful commercial logging and timber processing giant. Today, Lincoln thrives globally as one of New England's absolute premier capitals for winter ski sports and summer mountain eco-tourism, serving as the official western gateway to the legendary Kancamagus Highway.
