I'm not all about real estate..

Matt Martel (RE/MAX Northern Edge Realty LLC) — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:26:47 -0800

I'm not all about real estate... I love football and the New England Patriots. A very intense Super Bowl last night. I just can't help but feel the Patriots gave the game away. I can take a loss don't get me wrong but to lose they way the Patriots did is heartbreaking. Welker makes that catch, game over! Brady runs for the first down instead of throwing a bomb that ends up being picked off, game over! The Patriots D was steller and the Giants did a great job as well but the Pats gave this one away again, I must add. But hey the Patriots have been to the Super Bowl 5 times in 10 years! I guess being a Patriots fan is better than being a Jets fan. Go Pats!

Berlin NH Information

Matt Martel (RE/MAX Northern Edge Realty LLC) — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 14:47:36 -0800

Berlin, NH is also known as "The City That Trees Built". Trust the leader in Berlin real estate; Berlin is a city located on the Androscoggin River in north-eastern Coos County, New Hampshire, United States. The population was 10,331 at the 2000 Census. It includes the village of Cascade. Located on the edge of the White Mountains, the city's boundaries extend into the White Mountain National Forest. Berlin is home to Northern Forest Heritage Park, the Berlin Fish Hatchery, and a New Hampshire Community Technical College.

Berlin NH, History

International Paper Mill, c. 1912 First granted in 1771 by Colonial Governor John Wentworth, the town was named Maynesborough Plantation after Sir William Mayne, a West Indies trader. But the grantees did not take up their claims, which disappeared with the Revolution. Instead, Maynesborough was settled in 1781-1782 by William Sessions and others from Maine. Farming was the first industry. With 65 inhabitants in 1829, the New England town was reincorporated as Berlin by Thomas Wheeler, a selectman formerly of Berlin, Massachusetts.

Situated in a heavily forested region, the community developed early into a center for logging and wood industries. Falls on the Androscoggin River provided water power for sawmills. In 1821, a road was built to Gorham, and in 1851 the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad entered Berlin. Acquiring water, timber and rail rights in the early 1850's, the H. Winslow & Company built a large sawmill at the head of Berlin Falls. In 1868, William Wentworth Brown and Lewis T. Brown bought a controlling interest in the business and changed its name to the Berlin Mills Company. By 1885, the mill town was home to several lumber, pulp and paper mills, including the Forest Fibre Company and White Mountain Pulp & Paper Company. Because of the need for labor, immigrants arrived from Italy, Norway, Sweden, Russia and Ireland. Many others were French Canadians from nearby Quebec.

In 1882, a group of Scandinavians founded here the nation's first ski club, which would be named Nansen Ski Club in honor of Fridtjof Nansen, who in 1888 skied across Greenland. In 1897, Berlin was incorporated as a city, the northernmost in the state. Since entry of the United States into World War I, locals have pronounced the name as "BURR-lun."

Notable inhabitants of Berlin NH
