History Excerpt: Berlin New Hampshire, The City That Trees Built, and Hockey Town USA were all names given to our city back in its heyday. Situated on the Androscoggin River, Berlin once was the center of the pulp and paper-making industry, once having a population over 20,000 people that came from all over the world. Great Britain, Canada, Russia, Scandinavia, and Germany were all places where our ancestors came from and they choose to settle in our city. Some of the old timers still recall going down town to shop and meet up with friends and family on Sunday.

Industry and a lot of hard work is how our city was founded and it is still in the hearts of most of the residents of Berlin today. No matter what profession they were in, a teacher or a logger, a doctor or a mill man, they all played a huge part in this city’s history and they still do. Our city has come a long ways since it was first granted on December 31, 1771 by Colonial Governor John Wentworth as the small village, named Maynesborough, after a man by the name of Sir William Mayne from London, England.
