Concord. North of Lincoln is the land of the White Walkers (and is awesome.)

Concord and points south

The opposite of "northern" new Hampshire

Anything south of Littleton!

South of the notch

South of the Notch

Concord and below

Old school wisdom south of Concord, the reality is south of tilton

As others have said, Concord is a common demarcation. But in conversation, Southern NH often refers to the part of NH that has a lot of Boston commuters, or at least folks that commute to Massachusetts. By that standard, I would say start at Hollis, draw a line up to concord, then over to the Maine border. That area is kind of what i would call Southern NH. I definitely don't think of Hinsdale or Keene in that description.

Maybe, but I'm looking for a new place to live and Concord North is the line tilton Franklin is just be on the pale not part of Southern New Hampshire for me. Of course this is purely pedantic and you could clearly make your case that everything to the big lake is largely Southern tier and so heavily influenced

Franconia & south

Anything south of wherever you live.

Concord and south

Being from and currently in a Nh, I feel concord south is southern. But then I can see how someone from coos could see the line at tilton or further north . Cheshire, Hillsboro and Rockingham counties for sure

You nailed it.

Salem, Derry and Manchester

The southern part of Nh

Draw a line from Concord south to the Massachusetts border, then draw a line East of Concord to the Maine border. Everything in between is southern NH.

Haha isn't that the truth.

[removed]

Which one?

So what are Hinsdale & Keene?

Lower valley.

Southwest or Monadnock region

The boonies.

Concord and below but to anyone who lives south of concord it’s Manchester or below

So what makes up central NH?? Anything south of Colbrook and north of Tilton?? (eye roll) /s

Bottom half

You can add plaistow to that

That's where the people are. Greater Manchester Nashua Salem triangle.

Contrary to what some wrote, the seacoast is the seacoast, not part of Southern NH.

Nor is Concord. That's Central NH.

Life's different in and around the triangle. As it is around the seacoast. As it is Keene way. As it is some Concord. Etc.

That's the way I think of the regions, about lifestyle.

That's what these posts make it sound like.

Where peoples last names are still mostly Irish and not French.

But New Hampshire in general is all still “North Of The Wall”.

Windham, Hudson and Nashua too

Berlin here. Southern New Hampshire is northern Massachusetts now. South of the notches is home of the flatlander.

Jesus Fucking Christ guys

Both!

Dixville, and Pinkham?

Concord isn’t even remotely southern NH. Completely different culture than the areas south of Manchester. It doesn’t have the “stick up my ass” attitude of those who live north of the whites either. Kind of a central nh area of its own.

I live north of concord, it’s definitely Manchester and below.

I thought it was Franconia.

I consider it the towns that are close to Everett turn pike and 93. Manchester south.

Everything south of the hooksett toll booths IMO....

Concord straddles the line.

Agreed....

Concord is unique, more central than south.

I always say "south of the hooksett tolls"

I always thought it was anything below 101

Came here to say this. The Seacoast definitely isn't southern NH. I'd say it ends around Rt 125 going east. I think southern NH ends at the Hooksett park and ride, before Concord. Southern NH is kinda just another name for the Merrimack valley imho.

Manchester

I would call it anything South of Winni

anything Hillsborough and Rockingham county

The southernmost point of 101 is south of the northernmost point of the Mass border.

I've always seen Concord/Manchester area as Central NH, anything south of that is Southern NH, like Nashua, Merrimack, Salem, Hudson, etc.

Merrimack, Amherst, Milford, Hollis and Brookline while we're at it.

Funnily enough there is a book called: North of Wherever You Are: A Guide to the Real New Hampshire

Yup 👍

Plenty of Frenchies in S. NH.

Nashua up through Manchester and then everything east of that line; Windham, Londonderry, Derry, Exeter, Seabrook, Rye, Hampton, etc. Ya know I might also include Durham, Dover, and Portsmouth. Not sure about those three.

EDIT: Also, this is just my opinion/guess. This isn't some formal list I know of.

Southern NH is Concords south until you hit sullivan county it is sullivan county south. So the line is a bit diagonal. I calculate southern NH based on weather events in the winter and is how WMUR seems to do it too.

I feel like it's more like Manchester.

Having it drawn at Concord would put places like Epsom, Deerfield, Northwood and Barrington in "southern NH" and they feel very central (Epsom and Deerfield almost feels like northern NH)

I feel below concord is better description than concord and below

Western NH

North of Franconia Notch. Lincoln is the northlands.

Idk why people think Southern NH isn't "real" NH.

NH was founded in Portsmouth, its original capital. OG New Hampshire is the Seacoast. Southern NH is very much NH.

If your address says New Hampshire, you're in New Hampshire

This question is always fun lol

Because it’s become infested with mass people and their attitudes and politics.

Technically Ashland is the middle, so everything south of that..
