Easton New Hampshire community information

Easton, New Hampshire

“Blink and you’ll miss it” is often a part of the directions people give when they’re explaining how to get to Easton, New Hampshire. Tucked in a valley between towering mountains, Easton is home to only about 300 people, all of whom love their quiet little piece of heaven. With Cannon Mountain to the northeast, the Kinsman Mountain Range to the southeast, and the 2500+ foot tall Cole and Cockney “Hills” (which could also be called mountains) overlooking the town from the west, Easton is located in one of the prettiest areas of the state. Franconia Notch, one of New Hampshire’s most popular destinations, is found just over the mountains to the east, giving Easton residents their own personal playground of natural formations and stunning scenery.

Easton was once part of Landaff, NH, called Eastern Landaff. In 1867, residents living in Eastern Landaff petitioned to break off from their “mother town” and form their own community. Incorporated that same year, Easton, NH, was born. The origin of the town’s name may come from a misinterpretation of “Eastern” or a deliberate change – that information has been lost to history. The western Kinsman Mountain Range was named for one of the original settlers, Asa Kinsman. The Kinsman family also purchased land in Ohio resulting in the town of Kinsman, OH.
