The town was ranked number one of "New Hampshire's Most Beautiful Towns" in July 2010 by WMUR News 9. == History == Auburn was originally settled by Native Americans in 1624. It was a fishing settlement called by Native Americans "Massabesic" (the current name of the town's largest lake). British settlers arrived in the area in 1720 and made peace with the Native Americans until the French and Indian War. The Massabesic settlement was destroyed, and the nearby town of Chester claimed the land. It was known as Chester Woods, Chester West Parish, Long Meadow,〔 and then Auburn. Auburn became an independent town on June 25, 1845,〔(Article in ''Statistics and Gazetteer of New-Hampshire'' (1875) )〕 with a population of 1,200 people. As with Auburn, Maine, Auburn, Massachusetts and Auburn, New York, the name is from Oliver Goldsmith's popular 18th-century poem, "The Deserted Village", which begins: :Sweet Auburn! loveliest village of the plain, :Where health and plenty cheered the labouring swain :Where smiling spring its earliest visit paid, :And parting summer's lingering blooms delayed Auburn was served by the Concord and Portsmouth Railroad.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Auburn, New Hampshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
