Rockingham County NH
Rockingham County is located in southeastern New Hampshire, bordering Massachusetts to the south, Maine to the northeast and a 16-mile stretch of the Atlantic Seacoast to the east. Second only to Hillsborough County in population, Rockingham County’s nearly 285,000 residents live in thirty-seven towns and cities, including Derry, Portsmouth, Exeter, Hampton, Londonderry, Salem, Plaistow and Kingston.
One of the original five counties created in 1769, Rockingham County was organized in 1771 and named for Charles Watson-Wentworth, Second Marquee of Rockingham. The county seat was designated to be Exeter and is still mostly considered so, although in 1997 the Rockingham County Courthouse and facilities were moved to the neighboring town of Brentwood. Today, either Exeter or Brentwood can be considered the county seat of Rockingham County.
