History Of Pittsfield
The Town of Pittsfield known as the "Gem of the Suncook Valley" and today still one of New Hampshire's loveliest rural areas, is a small historical/industrial community nestled in the heart of the Suncook Valley along the Suncook River.
The town is located in south central New Hampshire. Pittsfield was settled in 1768 by John Cram who built his sawmill, which milled lumber and floated it down from his original purchase upstream on the river. Originally a part of Chichester, it became a separate town in 1782. Like many other cities and towns across the country, Pittsfield was named for William Pitt, one of Great Britain's most famous Prime Ministers.
