Rockingham County

Rockingham County is known as the "Commerce Center of Southern New Hampshire".

The County has been cited on numerous occasions as one of the best locations in which to establish a home and a thriving business. One of the County's principal cities was recently identified by Money Magazine as the fifth best place to live in the United States. This has been accomplished by providing residents with outstanding opportunities in education, strategic business location, a skilled labor force, no state income tax and an excellent quality of life.

Rockingham County has always emphasized its many advantages for new business opportunities such as its central location (located on New Hampshire's Seacoast/60 minutes north of Boston) multiple forms of easy-access transportation and the County's most important resource -- a talented and dedicated work force.
