Origin:
Part of Lisbon until 1770, when it was granted as Apthorp in honor of George Apthorp, head of one of the wealthiest mercantile establishments in Boston. The land was later passed to the Apthorp family's associates from Newburyport, Massachusetts, headed by Colonel Moses Little. Colonel Little held the post of Surveyor of the King's Woods, and the town was named Littleton in his honor the same year New Hampshire became a state.

More about Littleton:
The Littleton Grist Mill is located along the banks of the Ammonoosuc River in Littleton. The historic mill first opened in 1798. A producer of organic flours and cake mixes, the mill has been fully restored to its original appearance. This is a definite stop for anyone visiting this lovely town.
