Description
Market Square has been the economic and commercial center of Portsmouth since the mid-1700s. It has been a military training ground, site of a meeting house and home of the State of New Hampshire's Colonial Legislature. In 1762, it became the first area in the city to be paved, paid for by public lottery.
Towering North Church, constructed in 1854 to replace the meeting house built in 1713, dominates the eastern side of the square and can be seen from almost anywhere in the city. (portsmouthnh.com)
