Origin:
Chichester is one of seven towns granted in 1727 when New Hampshire was still a part of Massachusetts. As were several other towns, it was named in honor of Thomas Pelham Holles, Duke of Newcastle, Earl of Chichester, and England's Secretary of State (1724-1754). Holles was in charge of colonial policy, and was very involved in relations between the American Colonies and England. The charter for Chichester was a pattern for other town charters, requiring the planting and cultivation of land, and building dwelling houses, roads, a schoolhouse, and a church, all within three to five years.
Population, Year of the First Census Taken: 491 residents in 1790. Population change from 735 in 1950 to 2,259 in 2000. The largest decennial percent change was a 38 percent increase between 1970 and 1980, which followed a 32 percent increase over the previous decade. The 2007 Census estimate for Chichester was 2,528 residents.
One of New Hampshire's best late-Victorian houses was once the residence of Governor John Butler Smith, now serves as a library and community center. Built in 1893 this house combines features of the Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styles. The roof is steep, the chimney a prominent feature of the facade is paneled and has stone moldings. Small scale classical detail is scene everywhere on the building, and the interior woodwork is elaborately carved.
The Sandown Meeting House is one of New Hampshire's finest. A second-period New England meeting house, the building is outstanding for both proportion and crafsmanship, distinguished by its fine pedimented doorways and fluted pilasters. Religious services in the meeting house were discontinued in 1834, although town meetings continued to be held here until 1929.
