Martin Pring first explored this north central New England area in 1603. By 1620 the Plymouth Company

As to NH's glacier-gouged greatness,
Daniel Webster stated, "Men hang out their signs indicative of their
respective trades; shoe makers hang out a gigantic shoe; jewelers a
monster watch, and the dentist hangs out a gold tooth; but up in the
Mountains of New Hampshire, God Almighty has hung out a sign to show that
there He makes men." (See
story.)
