East Kingston, New Hampshire A small community in the southeast part of New Hampshire, East Kingston is a tiny hamlet of less than 2300 residents. On an east/west route that leads to the New Hampshire seacoast area, many people pass right through the town without even realizing it. The north/south rail line of Amtrak’s Downeaster still runs through the town, occasionally disrupting traffic for a brief period as the train speeds through. Once a stop on the Boston/Maine railroad, the town now resides in relative obscurity – just the way its residents want it to be. Originally a part of Kingston, NH known as Kingston East Parish, the town separated and incorporated in 1738. Many residents of the time felt that the school and church were far too distant and wanted to become their own entity – an action that was granted by Massachusetts Governor Jonathan Belcher, as New Hampshire was not yet it’s own state. East Kingston residents established the town around the Trickling Falls end of the Powwow River that flows out of Kingston. Lumber mills and gristmills were built using the water’s power while farms popped up in the area producing corn, strawberries and apples as well as raising livestock. In time, the mills closed and many of the farms failed, though Monahan Farm continues today. Now, East Kingston is primarily a bedroom community for people working in Salisbury, Amesbury and Haverhill, Massachusetts. East Kingston is also home to several Active Adult Communities and lends itself well as a quiet place to retire in the country.
