Settled in the early 1700s and incorporated in 1764, Newington was carved from Dover to establish independent governance. Historically tied to shipbuilding and maritime trade, the town’s economy later shifted to agriculture and milling. Notable landmarks include the 1710 General John Sullivan House (home to the Revolutionary War hero) and the 1859 Newington Town Hall. Unlike neighboring industrial hubs, Newington retained its rural-coastal character.

Geography and Demographics
Newington, a coastal town in Rockingham County, covers 13.5 square miles with a population of approximately 820 residents (2020 census). Bordered by Dover (northwest), Portsmouth (east), and the Great Bay Estuary (south), it blends maritime charm with lush woodlands and tidal marshes. Its compact size and proximity to Portsmouth make it a quiet residential enclave near the Seacoast’s urban amenities.
Historical Background
Settled in the early 1700s and incorporated in 1764, Newington was carved from Dover to establish independent governance. Historically tied to shipbuilding and maritime trade, the town’s economy later shifted to agriculture and milling. Notable landmarks include the 1710 General John Sullivan House (home to the Revolutionary War hero) and the 1859 Newington Town Hall. Unlike neighboring industrial hubs, Newington retained its rural-coastal character.
Government
Newington operates under a town meeting system led by a three-member selectboard. Recent priorities include preserving Great Bay ecosystems, upgrading municipal infrastructure, and enhancing public safety through regional partnerships. The town also focuses on maintaining its historic districts and expanding recreational access.
Economy
Primarily residential, many residents commute to Portsmouth, Dover, or the Pease International Tradeport. Local enterprises include marinas, home-based businesses, and family farms like Scamman Farm, which offers seasonal produce. The Great Bay Marina and Newington Ridge Farm highlight the town’s blend of maritime and agricultural heritage.
Culture and Community
Community bonds are strengthened through events such as the annual Old Home Day, holiday parades, and gatherings at the Newington Historical Society Museum. Volunteer groups maintain trails, the Great Bay National Wildlife Refuge, and the town’s historic cemeteries. The Newington Fire Department hosts popular pancake breakfasts, fostering neighborly ties.
Education
Part of School Administrative Unit (SAU) 50, students attend Newington Public School (K–5) before transitioning to Portsmouth’s middle and high schools. Educational programs emphasize environmental stewardship, reflecting the town’s connection to Great Bay, with field trips to local estuaries and conservation areas.
Landmarks and Recreation
- Great Bay National Wildlife Refuge: A 1,000-acre sanctuary offering hiking, birdwatching, and kayaking.
- General John Sullivan House: A well-preserved colonial home and museum.
- Fox Point Trail: Scenic waterfront paths with views of Little Bay.
- Newington Town Forest: Wooded trails for hiking and snowshoeing.
Modern Development
Newington balances growth with preservation, prioritizing open-space conservation and shoreline protection. Recent projects include solar energy initiatives, historic building restorations, and improving public access to Great Bay. Zoning laws limit large-scale development to maintain the town’s rural-coastal identity.
Transportation
Route 16 (Spaulding Turnpike) connects Newington to Portsmouth (10 minutes east) and Dover (15 minutes northwest). I-95 provides access to Boston (60 miles south) and Portland, ME (50 miles north). The town is also home to a notable toll plaza on Route 16, a local landmark.
Tourism and Proximity
Though quiet, Newington attracts visitors seeking maritime history, kayaking on Great Bay, and serene coastal landscapes. It lies 10 minutes from Portsmouth’s dining and cultural attractions and 25 minutes from Hampton Beach.
Notable Trivia
- The General John Sullivan House is one of New Hampshire’s oldest surviving colonial homes.
- Great Bay is a critical estuary habitat, protected as part of the National Estuarine Research Reserve system.
- Newington’s toll plaza on Route 16, operational since 1950, is a quirky relic of the state’s highway history.
Newington embodies understated New England coastal life, where history, ecology, and community thrive amid tidal creeks and pine forests. Its dedication to preservation and small-town values offers a peaceful retreat just minutes from the Seacoast’s vibrant energy.
