Origin:
First settled in the 1760's, Waterville Valley has long been a popular New Hampshire resort area. Incorporated in 1829 as Waterville, it was a thriving town, but lost population over the years and then lost land when the White Mountain National Forest was established. In 1967, by an act of the General Court, the town officially adopted the name Waterville Valley. The town is home to the Waterville Valley Ski Area.

More about Waterville Valley:
The first trail system in the northeast was built in Waterville by innkeeper Nathaniel Greeley who built walking trails and bridle paths for his guests in the mid to late 1800s.
