  1. The British were the earliest large group of settlers, but there was (and is) also a large number of French-Canadians here, as well as Scots-Irish.

    After we became a state, I think new settlers here came from all the same places as in the rest of the country (Ireland, Germany, Poland, Italy, Greece are the main ones, I think).  


  2. The English.

    Province of New Hampshire was a crown colony organized on October 7, 1691 during the period of British colonization of the Americas. The charter was enacted May 14, 1692 by William and Mary, the joint monarchs of the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland, at the same time that the Province of Massachusetts Bay was created. Both were formerly parts of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

    The Province of New Hampshire was located in the present-day U.S. state of New Hampshire, and was named after the county of Hampshire in southern England by John Mason.[1]

    The province did not get its own colonial governor until 1741, when Benning Wentworth was appointed. Many of the subsequent New Hampshire Grants later became the state of Vermont.
