About Strafford, New Hampshire
Strafford is a town of 4,230 people in Strafford County, between Barnstead and Barrington. Its families were once part of Barrington, but reaching town meetings meant a long trip, so they split off on their own. Settled before the Revolution, Strafford was incorporated in 1820 and borrowed its name from the county. The county dated from 1773, when John Wentworth was the colonial governor, and it honored Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford.
The Blue Hills Range cuts across the town from southwest to northeast. Its top, Parker Mountain, rises 1,420 feet and is both the town's high point and the most prominent peak in the county. To the south, Bow Lake covers 1,160 acres and empties into the Isinglass River, which carries its water east toward Dover and the sea.
- Austin-Cate Academy, 1903Principal Alvin E. Thomas invited George Cate, a rich shoe manufacturer, to visit the Austin Academy in the village center. Cate liked what he saw so much that he left the school $200,000 at his death, as long as his name was joined to Austin's. That money paid for the hundred-acre farm of George Washington Foss. On its hill the architect J. Edward Richardson planned a new building, its name and the year 1903 carved on the front.
- Rebuilt in brickFire destroyed the academy's main building in the early 1930s, and Richardson came back to design the brick building that replaced it. The old Foss farmhouse, used as a dormitory, burned in 1961 and gave way to a one-story dormitory. The state later bought the whole property as a training center for the New Hampshire National Guard.
- Fireworks over Bow LakeBow Lake Village grew up where the lake drains into the Isinglass River. The Bow Lake Grange and the Isinglass Country Store stand there, along with the old Waldron Store, now owned by the Strafford Historical Society. Each year Strafford and Northwood, which shares the lake, set off fireworks over the water.
- A Poet Laureate's homeCharles Simic was born in Belgrade and came to the United States at sixteen. He made his home in Strafford while teaching literature and writing at the University of New Hampshire, a job he began in 1973. His book The World Doesn't End earned him the 1990 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, and in 2007 the nation named him its fifteenth Poet Laureate.
