Somersworth: A Small City on the Salmon Falls River
Somersworth is one of the thirteen cities of New Hampshire and one of the smallest in population, with around 12,000 residents. It sits on the Salmon Falls River, which forms the border with South Berwick, Maine, and drops roughly sixty feet through the center of town. That waterpower drove the Great Falls Manufacturing Company from 1823 through the 1950s, producing cotton textiles along the river at a scale that briefly made Somersworth one of the busiest mill towns in northern New England.
Most of the original Great Falls mill complex was demolished in the 1950s and 1960s, though the Salmon Falls Mills on Market Street survive and now house offices, retail, and apartments. The downtown historic district along High Street includes the 1888 Hilltop School, the Somersworth Public Library, and a number of Second Empire and Italianate commercial buildings from the mill era.
The city is small enough geographically that it functions almost as a neighborhood of Dover, with which it shares a school district for some programs. The Indonesian community in Somersworth, which grew sharply in the 1990s and 2000s around the Indonesian Community Connect and the Redemptoris Mater Missionary Seminary, is one of the largest concentrations of Indonesian immigrants in northern New England and has an annual festival that draws visitors.
