<strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> (<strong>NH</strong>) (<strong>Postcard</strong> <strong>History</strong>) (Elizabeth Aykroyd) <strong>Hampton</strong>, originally a summer village for Native Americans from the interior of New Hampshire, was founded in 1638 by a small group of Puritan farmers <strong>and</strong> fishermen. In 1840, the railroad brought the beginnings of the tourist industry to the little village. New businesses sprang up to accommodate the summer visitors arriving on the train from Boston, <strong>and</strong> the development of <strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> as a resort began. The building of the street railway at the end of the nineteenth century linked the beach to towns all around the region, <strong>and</strong> <strong>Hampton</strong> became a major destination for day visitors.<br />
