The first settlement in New Hampshire, originally named Pannaway Plantation, was established in 1623 at Odiorne's Point [3] by a group of fishermen led by David Thompson. The settlement was abandoned in favor of Strawbery Banke, which became Portsmouth. The first settler in present-day Rye was probably William Berry. [4]
Pannaway Plantation was the first European settlement in what is now currently the state of New Hampshire. By 1630, the plantation was abandoned, and the settlers moved to Strawbery Banke in what is now Portsmouth. [1] Pannaway Plantation was settled on land that is now in Odiorne Point State Park in the town of Rye.
Massachusetts governed the New Hampshire settlements until 1680, when it became the royally chartered Province of New Hampshire. In 1686 the territory became part of the Dominion of New England , which was effectively disbanded in 1689 following the 1688 Glorious Revolution in England.
