Hillsborough County, New Hampshire
Located along the southern border of New Hampshire, Hillsborough County is the most populous county in the state. Covering 892 square miles, the population of Hillsborough County was estimated to be 415,247 as of 2018. Hillsborough is both the most populous and most densely populated county in northern New England.
The Provincial Act of 1769 originally divided the province into five counties, with Hillsborough County being one of the original five. It wasn’t until 1823, however, that the current boundaries of the county were established. At that time, the town of Amherst was also chosen as the county seat because it was the largest farming community. Today, Nashua and Manchester serve as the county seats. Hillsborough County gets its name from Wills Hill, the Earl of Hillsborough who served as the British Secretary of State for the Colonies when the county was established.
