 New Hampshire was named after the
English county of Hampshire. New Hampshire is called the
"Granite State" because of its numerous granite quarries. There
are no general sales or individual income taxes, which fits with
the state motto of "Live free or die." It also makes it a
popular shopping destination for vacation travelers visiting the
LL Bean store and many of the manufacturers outlet stores. New
Hampshire plays a major role every four years in the
presidential election, as it holds the first primary election.
During the summer months, travelers enjoy warm days and cool
nights. During the winter, New Hampshire is a popular
skiing
destination.
