History

Wade Hill Road in Hebron, NH is located in an area where early settlers built farms, particularly near the Pike (a turnpike) and intersecting roads like Pike Hill, Favor, and Hunt roads. The turnpike was built to shorten travel between Concord and Haverhill and other Connecticut River towns, leading to development in these hilly areas. Wade Hill Cemetery, also on Pike Hill, is an abandoned cemetery deeded to the town in recent years. The road's connection to the turnpike and the development of the surrounding area suggests it was a significant location for early Hebron residents. The presence of the Wade Hill Cemetery also indicates a long history of settlement in the area.
