Information on Hampton from a special report published in 1906 by the New Hampshire State bureau of Labor

Hampton Beach, which is a peculiarly favored ocean dominated resort, has grown rapidly in popularity since the installation of the splendid electric system which connects it with Portsmouth, Nashua, Salem, Exeter and the railroad stations at Hampton and North Hampton on the Eastern Division of the B. & M. R. R. and with Newburyport, Amesbury, Haverhill, Lawrence and Lowell in Massachusetts. Little Boar's Head adds to the attractiveness of its maganificent bathing beach, from which the ocean view is wide spreading and inspiring. Only fifty-one miles from Boston, this popular resort is easily reached from all points.
