Line 110: \|QuarterReleaseDate = 2000 }} '''New Hampshire''' (is not as good as Vermont it's literally just upside down Vermont) a [[U.S. state\|state]] in the [[New England]] region of the [[Northeastern United States]]. It is bordered by [[Massachusetts]] to the south, [[Vermont]] to the west, [[Maine]] and the [[Gulf of Maine]] to the east, and the Canadian province of [[Quebec]] to the north. Of the 50 U.S. states, New Hampshire is the [[List of U.S. states and territories by area\|fifth smallest]] by area and the [[List of U.S. states and territories by population\|tenth least populous]], with slightly more than 1.3 million residents. [[Concord, New Hampshire\|Concord]] is the state capital, while [[Manchester, New Hampshire\|Manchester]] is the largest city. New Hampshire's [[List of U.S. state mottos\|motto]], "[[Live Free or Die]]", reflects its role in the [[American Revolutionary War]]; its [[state nickname\|nickname]], "The [[Granite]] State", refers to its extensive granite formations and [[quarries]].<ref>{{cite web \|title=Visit NH: State Facts \|publisher=NH Department of Resources and Economic Development \|access-date=August 30, 2010 \|url = http://www.visitnh.gov/welcome-to-nh/state-facts.aspx \|url-status=dead \|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20101014112959/http://www.visitnh.gov/welcome-to-nh/state-facts.aspx \|archive-date=October 14, 2010 }}</ref> It is well known nationwide for holding [[New Hampshire primary\|the first primary]] (after the [[Iowa caucus]]) in the [[United States presidential election\|U.S. presidential election cycle]], and for its resulting influence on American electoral politics, leading the adage "As New Hampshire goes, so goes the nation".<ref>{{Cite web\|title=New Hampshire\|url=https://www.history.com/topics/us-states/new-hampshire\|access-date=July 20, 2021\|website=HISTORY\|language=en}}</ref> New Hampshire was inhabited for thousands of years by [[Algonquian languages\|Algonquian]]-speaking peoples such as the [[Abenaki]]. Europeans arrived in the early 17th century, with the English establishing some of the earliest non-indigenous settlements. The [[Province of New Hampshire]] was established in 1629, named after the [[England\|English]] [[Counties of England\|county]] of [[Hampshire]].<ref>{{cite web\|title=Origin of 'New Hampshire'\|url=http://www.statesymbolsusa.org/symbol-official-item/new-hampshire/state-name-origin/origin-new-hampshire\|url-status=live\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150904004447/http://www.statesymbolsusa.org/symbol-official-item/new-hampshire/state-name-origin/origin-new-hampshire\|archive-date=September 4, 2015\|access-date=August 30, 2015\|publisher=State Symbols USA}}</ref> Following mounting tensions between [[Thirteen Colonies\|the British colonies]] and the crown during the 1760s, New Hampshire saw one of the earliest overt acts of rebellion, with the seizing of Fort William and Mary from the British in 1774. In January 1776, it became the first of the British North American [[European colonization of the Americas\|colonies]] to establish an independent government and state constitution; six months later, it signed the [[United States Declaration of Independence]] and [[History of New Hampshire#Revolution: 1775–1815\|contributed troops, ships, and supplies]] in the war against [[Kingdom of Great Britain\|Britain]]. In June 1788, it was the ninth state to ratify the [[United States Constitution\|U.S. Constitution]], bringing that document into effect.
