| Origin: One of the earliest settlements
in the state, Greenland was a parish of Portsmouth
originating in 1638. It was probably named for Henry
Greenland, a town officer. Residents requested and were
granted a separate town in 1704. In that same period,
Leonard Weeks constructed a substantial brick house, thought
to be the oldest brick house in New Hampshire still
standing. |
| |
| Population density, 2002: 312.7 persons
per square mile of land area. Greenland contains 10.5 square
miles of land area and 2.8 square miles of inland water
area. |
