Berlin nh Wedding

Berlin is a city located on the Androscoggin River in north-eastern Coos County, New Hampshire, USA. The population was 10,331 at the 2000 census. It includes the village of Cascade. Located on the edge of the White Mountains, the city's boundaries extend into the White Mountain National Forest. Berlin is home to Northern Forest Heritage Park, the Berlin Fish Hatchery, and New Hampshire Community Technical College.

First granted in 1771 by Colonial Governor John Wentworth, the town was named "Maynesborough Plantation" after Sir William Mayne, a West Indies trader. But the grantees did not take up their claims, which disappeared with the Revolution. Instead, "Maynesborough" was settled in 1781-1782 by William Sessions and others from Maine. Farming was the first industry. With 65 inhabitants in 1829, the town was reincorporated as "Berlin" by Thomas Wheeler, a selectman formerly of Berlin, Massachusetts.
