Blaisdell House and 1835 Kensington Town Hall reflecting its early New England character.
The town avoided industrialization, preserving its rural identity.

Geography and Demographics
Epping, a town straddling Rockingham and Strafford Counties, spans 28.7 square miles with a population of ~7,000 (2020 census). Bordered by Exeter (south), Raymond (north), and Brentwood (east), it features a mix of rural woodlands, rolling fields, and the Lamprey River. Its location along Route 125 positions it as a gateway between the Seacoast and southern New Hampshire’s commercial hubs.
Historical Background
Settled in 1721 and incorporated in 1741, Epping began as an agricultural community before evolving into a 19th-century mill town, powered by the Lamprey River. The Exeter Manufacturing Company (1830s) anchored its early economy, producing textiles and shoes. Historic landmarks like the 1830 Epping Town Hall and Watson Academy (1840s) reflect its industrial and educational heritage. Unlike many towns, Epping retained its rural roots while adapting to modern growth.
Government
Epping operates under a town meeting system governed by a five-member Board of Selectmen. Recent priorities include revitalizing downtown infrastructure, expanding broadband access, and balancing commercial development along Route 125 with open-space conservation. The town partners regionally on transportation projects and environmental initiatives, such as protecting the Lamprey River watershed.
Economy
A blend of residential and commercial activity, Epping’s economy thrives along Route 125, home to retail plazas, restaurants, and services like Epping Hardware & Supply. Local staples include DeMeritt Hill Farm (apple picking and agri-tourism) and the seasonal Epping Farmers’ Market. Many residents commute to Portsmouth, Manchester, or the Pease Tradeport.
Culture and Community
Epping fosters community through events like the Epping Harvest Festival, Fourth of July Parade, and Winter Carnival. The Epping Historical Society preserves landmarks such as the 1740 Folsom Tavern, while volunteer groups maintain trails at Fox Forest and the Lamprey River Greenway. The Epping Fire Department’s annual chicken barbecue is a beloved tradition.
Education
Part of School Administrative Unit (SAU) 14, students attend Epping Elementary School (K–4), Epping Middle School (5–8), and Epping High School (9–12). The district emphasizes STEM programs and vocational partnerships, preparing students for careers in trades and technology.
Landmarks and Recreation
- Lamprey River: Popular for kayaking, fishing, and riverside picnics.
- Fox Forest: A 1,400-acre state forest with trails for hiking, snowmobiling, and wildlife observation.
- Historic Downtown: Features the Greek Revival Town Hall, Watson Academy, and vintage storefronts.
- DeMeritt Hill Farm: A family-run orchard offering seasonal activities and farm-fresh goods.
Modern Development
Epping balances growth with rural character, focusing on smart development along Route 125 while preserving farmland and forests. Recent projects include solar energy installations, upgrades to recreational facilities like the Rockingham Recreational Trail, and revitalizing the downtown streetscape.
Transportation
Route 125 (a commercial corridor) connects Epping to Exeter (15 minutes south) and Rochester (20 minutes north). Route 101 provides access to Manchester (30 minutes west) and Portsmouth (25 minutes east). Proximity to I-95 and Route 101 makes Boston (~50 miles south) easily accessible.
Tourism and Proximity
Though not a traditional tourist hub, Epping draws visitors for events at the New England Dragway, outdoor adventures on the Lamprey River, and seasonal farm activities. It’s 20 minutes from Portsmouth’s historic sites, 30 minutes from Manchester’s urban amenities, and 45 minutes from the White Mountains.
Notable Trivia
- Home to the New England Dragway (est. 1966), one of the Northeast’s premier motorsports venues.
- The Lamprey River, designated a “National Wild and Scenic River,” derives its name from the lamprey eels once abundant in its waters.
- Watson Academy, built in 1849, served as Epping’s first high school and now houses town offices.
Epping embodies a dynamic blend of New England tradition and modern convenience, where rural landscapes coexist with bustling commerce. Its strategic location, historic charm, and community-driven spirit make it a resilient town bridging the past and future.
