Wolfeboro

A four-season get-a-way on the unspoiled eastern shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, historic Wolfeboro combines the charm and tranquility of rural New Hampshire with the shopping, services and amenities that would be the envy of much larger communities.

Conveniently located less than two hours from Boston and just one hour to the seacoast and the White Mountains, Wolfeboro’s setting is ideal. Residents love to share our secret with visitors.

Once you have relaxed a bit, you’ll want to go out and play, and Wolfeboro is a playground with something for everyone. Memories of summers spent with family are created at our lakes, where you may spend the day boating or relaxing on one of our four public beaches.

The town was first granted in 1759 to 4 young men of Portsmouth, and named Wolfeboro in honor of General James Wolfe, who had been victorious at Quebec in 1759. In 1764, 2,300 acres were added to the 60 acres reserved for the governor: Gov. John Wentworth established an estate on the site, known as Kingswood. This was the first summer country estate in northern New England, thus the town’s slogan: 'The Oldest Summer Resort in America.' Wolfeboro was incorporated in 1770.
