New Boston is a town in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA. The population was 4,138 at the 2000 census. New Boston is home to the annual Hillsborough County Agricultural Fair. The town was first granted in 1736 by Colonial Governor Jonathan Belcher of Massachusetts, which then held authority over New Hampshire. It was granted to several Boston families, and was to have been called "Lanestown" or "Piscataquog Township." Instead, by 1751 they called it "New Boston" after their hometown. Not all the grantees took up their claims, and the land was regranted ten years later to settlers from Londonderry. When the town was incorporated in 1763, Governor Benning Wentworth formally recognized the long-used name of "New Boston."
