settled in the 1760's, Waterville Valley has long been a popular New
Hampshire resort area. Incorporated in 1829 as Waterville, it was a
thriving town, but lost population over the years and then lost land
when the White Mountain National Forest was established. In 1967, by
an act of the General Court, the town officially adopted the name
Waterville Valley. The town is home to the Waterville Valley Resort.
