The self-proclaimed "Gate City" Nashua
lies just north of the Massachusetts border and follows the western
bank of the Merrimack River. New Hampshire's second-largest city has
twice been named "Money' magazine's "Best Place to Live in America," and is the only city in the country ever to win this honor twice. A low crime rate also recently found Nashua ranked as the 27th safest city in the entire United States.
Low unemployment coupled with excellent schools and up-to-date
healthcare facilities were all reasons cited for this ranking in 1987
and 1997. These and many other great features make this city of 83,000
an excellent community in which to live and work.
The village of Nashua was an early
textile center. By 1836, Nashua Corporation had built three cotton
mills and was producing 9.3 million yards of cotton cloth annually on
710 looms. The city of Nashua was chartered in 1852, and before the
Civil War, railroad lines crossed the city with 56 trains entering and
departing daily. After World War 11, the textile mills moved south and
the city gradually developed a diversified industry, particularly high
technology and retail.
Since a commercial development boom in the
1980's, the city has served as a shopping mecca with several malls and
plazas for those fleeing Massachusetts sales taxes. Not to be outdone,
downtown Nashua hosts several seasonal festivals and parties, a myriad
of activities from evening concerts at Greeley Park to parades and
shows all over the city. Ethnic restaurants and posh specialty gift
shops have made the downtown area a popular destination year-round, in
addition to an extensive retail industry; the city also hosts several
major high-tech companies such as Compaq Computer Corporation, Oracle,
and Sanders, a Lockheed-Martin Company.
Recreation is not overlooked in this
small city, and there are ample outlets for many different activities.
Mine Falls Park, a 300-acre area in the geographic center of the city,
offers trails for hiking, running, biking, and cross-country skiing.
Athletic fields are also available for soccer and baseball. Greeley
Park, a 126-acre tract between Concord and Manchester Streets, offers a
playground, tennis courts, an outdoor band shell for summer concerts,
and picnic facilities.
The city is also home to one of two New
Hampshire professional baseball teams, the Nashua Pride. In 1998, the
independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball brought the
unaffiliated Nashua Pride to Holman Stadium. Future Brooklyn Dodger
stars Roy Campanella and Don Newcombe played at Holman in 1946 on the
first integrated baseball team in the U.S. Holman Stadium is also host
for numerous high school and youth sports events, as well as for the
annual July 4 fireworks display, always among the area's largest.
History is alive in Nashua with an active
historical society and several buildings which have been named to the
National Register of Historic Places. The Hunt Memorial Building, once
the city library is a brick Gothic structure and the only New Hampshire
example of the work of architect Ralph Adams Cram.
The
Nashua Public Library hosts community activities including lectures,
club meetings, free movies, and concerts. With New Hampshire's
second-largest collection of materials, the library circulates more
items than any other library north of Boston.
Education is a priority for Nashua
residents, and the 12 elementary schools, three junior high schools,
and the high school reflect this focus, preparing graduates to go on to
fine colleges anywhere. Still, many choose to pursue higher education
locally in of the areas several fine colleges and vocational schools.
Housing in Nashua is diverse, with a wide
array of options from single-family homes to rentals and condominiums.
The elegant North End has been Nashua's most affluent area for more
than a century. Well-kept Victorian homes built around the turn of the
century line the edge of Concord Street near Greeley Park. The older
textile mills along the Nashua River have been renovated into
condominiums, popular for their proximity to downtown's Main Street.
Spit Brook Road in south Nashua is home to many condominium
developments, and is conveniently located close to Route 3.
