Somersworth is a City that combines all the charm of a small town, with all the amenities of a big city. Incorporated as a Town in 1754 and later as a City in 1893, Somersworth is now home to nearly 12,000 residents. A charming historic community, the City spreads across ten square miles of land and water and is bordered by Dover, Rochester and Rollinsford, New Hampshire, as well as Berwick, Maine. The Salmon Falls River, once an integral part of the Mill District of Somersworth, serves as the picturesque backdrop for the revitalized historic mills downtown.
Somersworth is small, safe and friendly. Its attributes include many amenities found in much larger cities, such as public water and sewer, a fitness facility, urban parks, splash pad, schools, playgrounds and ball fields. Fishing, boating and plenty of fresh air can be found at Willand Pond and Mast Point Dam Recreation Areas.
Somersworth is connected by a well-maintained local and interstate road system and public transportation, all while preserving the convenience, safety, security and feel of a small town.
But what truly makes Somersworth stand out to businesses and residents is the sense of community. As one of New Hampshire's smallest cities, Somersworth is focused on its people. Everyone knows their neighbors and newcomers are welcomed with open arms. This sense of community is what makes Somersworth a special place to live, work and play.
