…Newington's 110-acre Old Town Center Historic District features an 18 th century parsonage, a 19 th century Town Hall, the 1892 Langdon Library, the oldest Town Forest in the United States, the oldest New Hampshire meetinghouse (1712) in continuous use, and a row of horse sheds behind the meetinghouse that were once commonplace, but are now quite rare. The entire district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In contrast to its historic center, thetown’s retail district is the shopping mecca of the Seacoast Region and home of the Fox Run Mall, offering a host of nationally known stores. Pease International Tradeport is a prospering business and aviation industrial community with amenities including overnight accommodations, restaurants and banquet facilities, personal and commercial banking, copy and printing services, job training and continuing education, and a 27-hole golf course. The 4.5 square miles that remain (outside of Pease) within the municipality's jurisdiction include the largest deep-water port in the state and an active industrial riverfront.
While Newington is widely noted for its vibrant commercial and industrial sectors, less well-known is the care with which the townspeople have preserved historic landmarks, architecture, and archeological sites. Newington's residential district features many historic homes, open fields and sweeping vistas of Little Bay and Great Bay. Despite the town's comparatively small land area, Newington has more publicly owned conservation land than any other municipality in southeast New Hampshire. Protected tracts include the 120-acre Fox Point which juts far into Little Bay, and the spectacular 1,100-acre Great Bay National Wildlife Refuge which accounts for 6 miles of shoreline along the Great Bay Estuary. The town is surrounded on three sides by the Piscataqua River and Great Bay and known for its excellent bird-watching opportunities.
