First granted as "Narragansett Number Four" in 1734, the town was intended for soldiers who fought in the 1675 Narragansett War, also called "King Philip's War". The small community was referred to as "Piscataquog Village" and (for some reason) "Shovestown" until the township was regranted to new settlers by Governor Benning Wentworth in 1748. One of the settlers was Colonel John Goffe, for whom the governor had named the town. Goffstown incorporated in 1761. Power from the Piscataquog River allowed Goffstown to become an influential mill town supplying lumber, cotton and textiles to many New England towns and beyond.
