Durham: The University of New Hampshire and the Oyster River
Durham is a Seacoast-region town of roughly 10,000 permanent residents, though the population swells sharply during the academic year when the University of New Hampshire's 15,000 students are on campus. UNH, founded in 1866 as an agricultural college, moved to Durham in 1893 and has grown into the state's flagship public university. The campus occupies a significant portion of the town's geographic center.
The Oyster River, which flows through Durham into Little Bay and ultimately the Great Bay estuary, gives the town its character. The Durham Dam and mill remnants on the river recall the town's agricultural and milling past. Little Bay and Great Bay together form one of the largest tidal estuaries in the region and support significant oyster and shellfish populations that are actively managed by state biologists and UNH researchers.
The Whittemore Center Arena hosts UNH hockey, which has been one of the more competitive Division I programs in Hockey East for decades. The Paul Creative Arts Center and the Dimond Library anchor the university's cultural and academic facilities. Downtown Durham along Main Street consists of small shops, restaurants, and student-focused businesses that cater to both students and the research and staff population.
