The park was dedicated for FOUNDERS DAY on 14 Oct 1925 thanks to the efforts of 88 year old Reverend Ira S Jones. Although not a Hampton resident, Reverend Jones had read much about the origins and history of the community in Dow’s HISTORY OF HAMPTON and through his interest, enlisted the help of philanthropist, Edward Tuck of Paris, France to complete this worthy project.

5327	Somersworth, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA	-70.8653	43.2618	Somersworth, originally called "Sligo" after Sligo in Ireland, was settled before 1700 as a part of Dover. It was organized in 1729 as the parish of "Summersworth", meaning "summer town", because during that season the ministers preached here. It was set off and incorporated in 1754 by colonial governor Benning Wentworth, and until 1849 included Rollinsford. A clerical error at incorporation contracted the name to "Somersworth". It was incorporated as a city in 1893, before which it was also known as "Great Falls".	3

5329	Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA	-70.8737	43.1979	Dover, New Hampshire, is a city rich in history and modern development. As the oldest permanent settlement in New Hampshire and the seventh in the United States, Dover was established in 1623 by William and Edward Hilton at Pomeroy Cove on Dover Point. The city's early economy was shaped by its natural resources, with the Cochecho River's 34-foot drop providing water power for industries. Dover was known as "The Garrison City" due to its fortified log houses called garrisons. A significant event in its history was the Cochecho Massacre in 1689, a Native American attack in retaliation for a previous deception by the colonists. The 19th century brought the Industrial Revolution to Dover, with the establishment of cotton textile manufacturing. The Dover Cotton Factory, founded in 1812, and the Cocheco Manufacturing Company, founded in 1827, played pivotal roles in the city's industrial growth. However, the Great Depression and the shift of textile mills to southern states led to the decline of this industry in Dover. In recent years, Dover has experienced revitalization, especially in its downtown area. The repurposing of old mill buildings for housing, businesses, and cultural institutions like the Children's Museum of New Hampshire has injected new life into the city. The city's commitment to development is evident in projects like the $87.5 million high school and the $6 million waterfront development plan. Geographically, Dover is characterized by its location at the confluence of the Cochecho and Bellamy rivers, flowing into the tidal Piscataqua River. It's the most populous city in the New Hampshire Seacoast region and serves as the county seat of Strafford County. The city's transportation network includes several state routes and Amtrak's Downeaster train service, enhancing its connectivity. Dover's population, as of the 2020 census, was 32,741, showing significant growth over the decade. The city's educational landscape includes public schools, Catholic schools like Saint Mary Academy, and charter schools like the Cocheco Arts and Technology Academy. Politically, Dover is a Democratic stronghold in presidential elections. The city's rich history is commemorated through various historic sites and markers, including those dedicated to early settlers, Native American history, and the creation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, which originated in Dover. This blend of historical significance and modern development makes Dover a unique and dynamic city in New Hampshire.
