Settled in 1623, Portsmouth lays claim to being the nation's third-oldest city, providing safe harbor for Navy and Coast Guard ships, tankers, freighters, and bulk carriers, commercial fishing vessels, and small passenger vessels.
John Paul Jones' ship Ranger was built in Portsmouth, and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (which lies across the river in Maine) was established in 1800 as the country's first Naval shipyard. The geographic location, historic past and cultural strength of the area regularly lands it on various "best places to live" lists.
