About Seabrook
Welcome to the Seacoast’s southern gateway to New Hampshire, the Granite State. Seabrook is the heart of New England, connecting the rich resources and recreation areas of Northern New England with the centuries old marketing and population centers of Southern New England.
Seabrook History
The community was settled in 1638 and named for the many brooks meandering to the Atlantic Ocean through its extensive salt marshes. Its early inhabitants were primarily engaged in the farming and fishing industries. Many of our current residents can trace their ancestry to the first Quaker settlers who moved here and established what is still a community with a special small-town atmosphere.
