Historic Map - Bethlehem, NH - 1883
Description
View of Bethlehem, Grafton County, N.H., 1883 / drawn & published by Poole & Norris.
This bird’s-eye view print of Bethlehem, New Hampshire was drawn and published by Poole & Norris, Beck & Pauli Lith. in 1883. Bethlehem was incorporated in 1799 as a farming community at the 1500 foot level in the hills leading to the base of Mount Agassiz.
The village of Bethlehem was connected, in the late 1800's, by a narrow-gauge railway that diverged from the Boston & Lowell line at Bethlehem Junction. From that point the railway line ascended to the scenic mountain heights and a terminus located near the many luxurious hotels and cottages that were erected for the enjoyment of New England vacationers.
The most popular resort of the area was the Maplewood, built by Henry Howard who was an ex-governor of Rhode Island. After later being acquired by Isaac S. Cruft, the resort gained several improvements, increasing its popularity. The high altitudes were well known at the time for providing a healthy atmosphere for sufferers of hay-fever. Bethlehem’s population in 1880 was 1,400.
The illustration includes labeled roads, buildings and railroad route.
