The town was first granted in 1735 by Colonial Governor Jonathan Belcher as "Number One," part of a line of settlements running between the Merrimack and Connecticut rivers. Settled about 1740, it would be successively called "New Amesbury," "Jennesstown," "Waterloo," and "Ryetown" before being incorporated in 1774 as "Warner," named for Jonathan Warner, a leading Portsmouth citizen and relative of Governor John Wentworth. This was one of the last towns established under English provincial rule prior to the Revolution.

Each October, on Columbus Day weekend, Warner hosts the annual "Fall Foliage Festival," attracting thousands of people from all over New England and beyond.

[edit] Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 144.8 km² (55.9 mi²). 144.1 km² (55.7 mi²) of it is land and 0.6 km² (0.2 mi²) of it is water, comprising 0.43% of the town. Warner is drained by the Lane and Warner rivers. Two covered bridges span the Warner River: the Dalton Bridge and the Waterloo Bridge.

Mount Kearsarge, elevation 2,937 feet (893 meters) above sea level, located in the extreme north of the town, is the highest point in Warner. Two state parks are located on the mountain: Rollins State Park in Warner and Winslow State Park in Wilmot. Mount Kearsarge is a popular hiking destination, due both to its bare, rocky summit, and to the fact that a paved road climbs from Rollins State Park to within a half mile of the summit. The peak is the highest point along the 75-mile Sunapee-Ragged-Kearsarge Greenway, a hiking trail which links 10 towns and encircles the Lake Sunapee region of western New Hampshire.
