Two county seats?

How does a county have two seats? --radiojon 19:18, 2003 Sep 11 (UTC)

To answer the above (14 months later), it puts a branch of the county courthouse in each. Counties are unimportant in New Hampshire, compared to many states; they have little function, and no territory of their own.

Also, I have differentiated the notes of "East Merrimack," a term which nobody in this area ever uses, and "Pinardville," which is still used informally, as if it were an incorporated community of its own. As you can guess, I live in that part of the county. - DavidWBrooks 16:21, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Same-sex Parent Adoption

The article LGBT rights in New Hampshire states "As of 1999, adoption by same-sex couples was not approved of in four of the state's ten counties: Hillsborough, Merrimack, Grafton and Cheshire." As of October 2007, where does this stand? 24.63.32.154 02:02, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

The source article is dated 2006; the wikipedia article seems to misunderstand it. (1999 is the date of the court decision). I've updated it to 2006, but more recent information would require more research. If you get a chance to do that work, please update the article. - DavidWBrooks 02:06, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

More About the Multiple County Seats

Manchester & Nashua each have Superior Courts, which is why they are traditionally listed as the twin county seats. The state's other nine counties each have just one Superior Court. Courts below the state Supreme Court were at one time part of county government, but they were taken over by the state some years ago. The Hillsboro County government is currently (mostly) based in Goffstown, which is right next to Manchester. The NH Association of Counties lists Nashua as the county's one and only seat.

Representation at the state level

@GrannyDsRevenge: With this edit you added specific information about voting districts, areas of the county, the name of senators, their party, the date they were first elected, and their residence. To support your edit you added this source. I have not been about to located the information at that source. Could you please state the specific location where this information is located? Thank you.

@Magnolia677: It is all located on the cited state SoS site. I've also added the NH Senate site which also contains that info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GrannyDsRevenge (talk • contribs) 14:33, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
