Stratham, NH has a long history dating back to 1631 when it was first settled and officially incorporated in 1716. The town was named after Wriothesley Russell, Baron Howland of Streatham, a friend of New Hampshire Royal Governor Samuel Shute. One of the most notable historical events in Stratham was in 1793 when Phinehas Merrill, a surveyor, made one of the first comprehensive maps of the town - and we got a glimpse into the early days.
Stratham is also home to Stratham Hill Park, established in 1905 and the central hub of the community. The park hosts the annual Stratham Fair which has began in 1967. The town has several historic landmarks too - the John Crockett House, Emery Farm and the original Wiggin Memorial Library building all of which are on the National Register of Historic Places. These landmarks and events show us Stratham's rich past and its ongoing cultural relevance.

Geography and Demographics
Stratham, a semi-rural town in Rockingham County, spans 15 square miles with a population of ~7,400 (2020 census). Bordered by Exeter (north), Greenland (east), and the Squamscott River, it features rolling farmland, forests, and a commercial corridor along Route 33. The town balances suburban growth with preserved open spaces, offering easy access to the Seacoast.
Historical Background
Settled in 1631 and incorporated in 1715, Stratham split from Exeter to establish independent governance. Its agrarian roots thrived through the 19th century, with dairy farms and orchards dominating the landscape. Historic sites like the 1725 Stratham Hill Meetinghouse and Scamman Farm (operating since 1913) reflect its colonial heritage.
Government
Stratham operates under a town meeting system with a five-member selectboard. Recent initiatives include conservation easements (e.g., Stratham Hill Park) and infrastructure upgrades. The town prioritizes balancing commercial growth with rural preservation.
Economy
A mix of residential, commercial, and agricultural sectors. The Stratham Industrial Park and Route 33 retail hubs host businesses like Market Basket and T.J. Maxx, while family farms (e.g., Scamman Farm) sustain agritourism. Many residents commute to Portsmouth, Exeter, or Pease Tradeport.
Culture and Community
Stratham’s signature event, the Stratham Fair (est. 1966), draws crowds with agricultural exhibits, carnival rides, and live music. The Stratham Historical Society preserves landmarks like the 1800s Cobbett’s Store, while volunteer groups maintain trails and community spaces.
Education
Part of School Administrative Unit (SAU) 16, students attend Stratham Memorial School (K–5) before joining Exeter’s regional middle and high schools. Programs emphasize STEM and environmental education, leveraging the town’s rural resources.
Landmarks and Recreation
- Stratham Hill Park: 200+ acres with hiking trails, a fire tower, and summer concerts.
- Scamman Farm: A working farm hosting seasonal events and corn mazes.
- Squamscott River: Kayaking and fishing access via Stratham Town Landing.
- Wiggin Memorial Library: A community hub with historic archives.
Modern Development
Stratham manages growth through zoning that protects farmland while expanding commercial zones. Recent projects include Route 33 road improvements and solar energy installations at municipal sites.
Transportation
Route 33 and 108 connect to Exeter (5 minutes north) and Portsmouth (15 minutes east). Boston is 60 miles south via I-95, and Portsmouth International Airport is 20 minutes away.
Tourism and Proximity
Though not a tourist hotspot, Stratham attracts visitors to its annual fair, farm stands, and proximity to Seacoast attractions. It’s 10 minutes from Exeter’s historic sites and 15 minutes from Hampton Beach.
Notable Trivia
- Home to New Hampshire’s oldest continuously running agricultural fair (Stratham Fair).
- The Scamman family has farmed the same land for over 200 years.
- The 1725 Stratham Hill Meetinghouse served as a church, courthouse, and school.
