Cheshire County is located in the southwestern part of the great state of New Hampshire, USA. It was first established in 1769 as one of the five original counties in the state during the British colonial era. The county was named after Cheshire, a county in England, by Governor John Wentworth, to honor his ancestral town.

Early European settlers were attracted to the area by fertile land along the banks of the Connecticut River. The initial economy centered around agriculture, which provided plenty of food for the growing population. Throughout the 19th century, Cheshire County started to evolve into a more industrialized society, with mills and manufacturing facilities popping up in several towns along rivers and waterways.

During the 1800s, Cheshire County played a crucial role in the abolitionist movement, with several towns serving as stations on the Underground Railroad. Keene, the county seat, was an active hub for both the movement and women's suffrage.

In terms of a fun fact, Cheshire County is home to the Monadnock Region, which encompasses Mount Monadnock, one of the most climbed mountains in the world. The name "Monadnock" is derived from the Abenaki Native American term, meaning "smooth mountain," owing to the distinguishing geological features the peak possesses compared to its surroundings. Mount Monadnock has also inspired numerous artists and writers, most notably transcendentalist authors such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau.
