== History ==
The Hampton Beach Village District was established on June 26, 1907, for the purpose of providing electric power and water to the summer tourist community. In 1923, the village's first fire station was built after two devistating conflagrations destroyed a large section of the beach in 1919 and 1922. The original fire station was razed and replaced in 2014.
On February 26, 2010, during a severe storm, a fire burned down an entire block at Hampton Beach. The buildings destroyed included the Surf Hotel, Happy Hampton Arcade, and Mrs. Mitchell's Gift Shop. The fire started in the Surf Hotel and was spread to the other buildings by high winds. The cause for this fire is unknown. The area has been rebuilt with a larger hotel and a new Mrs. Mitchell's.
