The North Country

North Country

Here you will find stories about the North Country. Just writing those words, though, I sense a fight coming. When I lived in Bethlehem, I could unequivocally state that I lived in the North Country, but things got muddy when I moved to North Conway. You see some folks believe the North Country includes only communities north of the state’s four notches: Franconia Notch, Crawford Notch, Pinkham Notch, and Dixville Notch.

For InDepthNH.org’s purposes, we’ll use a little common sense and maybe stretch that a little farther south. And get ready for a call from our columnist John Harrigan, who has been called the King of The North Country, when we get it wrong.
