About this city
Moultonborough is a scenic, historic lakeside resort town situated flatly on the northern shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, nestled beneath the jagged peak of Mount Ossipee in the Lakes Region. Incorporated meticulously in 1777 by Colonel Jonathan Moulton, a legendary American Revolutionary War commander, the township encompasses miles of pristine freshwater shorelines, tranquil pine bays, and extensive glacial rock formations. Today, Moultonborough boasts a deeply wealthy summer colony culture, merging grand lakeside estates and retro country stores with globally unique mountaintop architecture.
