new hampshire: Chester, a true New Hampshire community.

Chester, a true New Hampshire community was incorporated in 1722. Of the original 125 proprietors, only 13 actually settled in Chester. Future settlers were primarily Scot-Irish, and purchased, leased, or married into land from the original proprietors.
