Manchester: The Amoskeag Millyard and the Merrimack River City
Manchester is New Hampshire's largest city, with roughly 115,000 residents along the Merrimack River. The city's identity was formed by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, which by the late nineteenth century had grown into what was then the largest cotton textile complex in the world. The Millyard stretched for more than a mile along the river and employed tens of thousands of workers drawn from Quebec, Ireland, Greece, Poland, and elsewhere. When Amoskeag closed in 1936 after a long strike and the collapse of New England textiles, Manchester had to rebuild its economy around new industries.
The brick mill buildings along Canal Street still dominate the downtown skyline. Many have been converted into offices, apartments, restaurants, and the SEE Science Center, which houses a detailed LEGO model of the Amoskeag complex at its historical peak. The Currier Museum of Art nearby owns one of the few Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian houses open to the public, the Zimmerman House, completed in 1950.
Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, located in the southern part of the city, serves as a secondary option for travelers avoiding Boston Logan. Saint Anselm College in the Goffstown-adjacent western section hosts the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, which has made Manchester a regular stop for presidential primary campaigns and CNN primary debates for decades. Southern New Hampshire University, while headquartered a few miles north in Hooksett, has become one of the largest online universities in the country.
