**What is the Climate and Geography of New Hampshire?** The 9,351 square miles that New Hampshire covers provides an ideal place to settle. The White Mountains run through New Hampshire which adds to it's natural beauty. 382 square miles of this beautiful colony is covered by water which provides fish to eat and many water activities. The land that is covered by water includes clear blue lakes like Lake Winnepesaukee, Newfoundland Lake and Squam Lake. Our rivers include The Connecticut River, the Pimigewasset River, the Merrimack River, the Androscogginn River, Piscataqua Rivers and the Saco River. In the south west region of New Hampshire, the land meets the sea where you will find some stunning ocean beaches. In New Hampshire, you will find warm, humid summers and cold, wet winters. In the winter, a lot of snow falls which gives the children something fun to do while they are not at school. Then, the whole colony turns into a winter wonderland which adds to it natural beauty. The land in New Hampshire is not the most fertile out of all the colonies but you can still grow corn, beans, and pumpkins. Also, you can grow fruits like apples and pears.

New Hampshire is located 42 degrees north to 18 degrees north latitude and 70 degrees west to 72 degrees west longitude and is part of New England.

**Who was the Founder of New Hampshire and Where was he From?** New Hampshire was founded by an Englishmen called John Wheelwright and his crew in around 1638. The colony was named for the county of Hampshire in England in order of Captain John Mason. John Wheelwright stumbled upon this beatiful land when he was looking for the northwest passage.

**What are Some Economic Prospects?** Some major products made in New Hampshire include textiles and shipbuilding. Other products that come from New Hampshire are the vegetables that they do grow. These products are valued in the other colonies and in England. A drink very popular in New Hampshire is homemade apple cider. Even though New Hampshire is one of the smaller colonies, it still provides many things to do. Some occupations that are available in New Hampshire are whaling, farming, even though the land is not the most fertile, hunting and skinning animals, and educating children, but there would be a limited amount of spaces for teachers as there are not many schools in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire is a very beautiful colony. It first was named North Virgina. New Hampshire continued being a part of Massachusetts until 1679, when the king separated them. He joined them again in 1686; but they were finally separated in 1691, and New Hampshire again became a royal province.

Risks: ** In New Hampshire I am going to tell you that you should be aware of some risks if you go there. The most important is that you may become sick with a disease. When go to New Hampshire you may not be used to your surroundings for the first week and may become sick because you are not used to your surroundings. Don't worry you will soon be able to have a wonderful life in New Hampshire after a week. Also don't be scared because not everyone gets sick with the disease. There is a bigger chance of you not getting sick then getting sick! Also if you go hiking on the beautifal mountain tops of New Hampshire beware of the wild animals just as you would at your every other day forest.

Activities: ** New Hampshire has many activities to enjoy while exploring the beautifal colony.New Hampshire is covered with water so people mostly enjoy their day while on the water. The people of New Hampshire love to sail. Sailing was a way to get around the town, enjoy the sights, and get some food from the water animals. They also loved to fish. Sailing and fishing are a big part of everyday life.

Diary:** "The air thereof is pure and wholesome. The country(is) pleasant, having some high hills of goodly forests and fair valleys and plains fruitful in corn,vines,chestnuts, walnuts, and infinite sorts of other fruits, large rivers well stored with fish, and enviored with goodly meadows full of timber trees,"said Sir Ferdinando Gorges, describing what the New Hampshire region was like in the early 1600s. "Here should be no landlords to rack us with high rents, or extorted fines to consume us. Here every man may be a master of his own labor and land in a short time. The sea there is the strangest pond I ever saw,"said Captin John Smith of England.
