Dover is a great place to live, work, and play. Conveniently located in the Seacoast region of New Hampshire, Dover is the oldest permanent settlement in the state — settled in 1623 — and the seventh oldest in the United States.
Today Dover is home to more than 32,000 residents, a vibrant downtown along the Cocheco River, an award-winning school district, and an active calendar of community events. From riverfront trails to a historic Central Avenue lined with shops and restaurants, Dover blends four centuries of history with a forward-looking, welcoming community.
