Somersworth, New Hampshire

Somersworth, United States

Somersworth, New Hampshire holds 47 connections with 3651 other places across 13 topics, centered on its 19th-century textile mill history and present-day role as a bedroom community. Industry dominates its connection profile, with ties to New Hampshire and Massachusetts rooted in mill construction: brick buildings including a bleachery and dye works were erected beside the river, and company tenements housed worker families before child labor laws took effect. The 1922 New England Textile Strike shut down Somersworth's mills. Today the city serves largely as a bedroom community for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
