ODIORNE'S POINT 
Here, in the spring of 1623, was 
established New Hampshire's first 
settlement, Pannaway Plantation. 
David Thompson and other hardy 
fishermen came from England to 
colonize and develop trade. They 
built a stone manor house, smithy, 
cooperage, fort and stages for 
drying fish on nearby Flake Hill 
Thompson's son, John, was the first 
child born in New Hampshire.
