Effingham NH Real Estate
Effingham is a town in Carroll County, New Hampshire, United States. As of the 2000 census, the town population was 1,273. Effingham includes the village of Effingham Falls. Pine River State Forest is in the south.
This town was settled by the Leavitts of Hampton, and named "Leavittstown." In 1749, the land was granted by Colonial Governor Benning Wentworth, and he named it "Effingham" for the Howard family, who were Earls of Effingham. The town was incorporated in 1778. North Effingham would be set off in 1831 to become the town of Freedom.
Effingham was home to the first normal school in New Hampshire, established in 1830 on the second floor of the Effingham Union Academy Building, erected in 1819. James W. Bradbury, later a U.S. Senator from Maine, took charge of the school only on condition that it should be for the "instruction and training of teachers." The idea was his own and, at that time, entirely novel.
