It was the first state to pass a law for religious freedom in 1719. It was the first US state to adopt a constitution in 1784. The state was also the first to give women the right to vote in 1866.

The paper began in 1756 when John Langdon, who was later elected as President of New Hampshire, The apple is the state fruit of New Hampshire.
