I am doing the small yet unusual state of New Hampshire. The state abbreviations are NH, which is pretty easy to remember! The state capital is Concord which has been capital since 1808, but the largest city is Manchester with a population of 99,567. New Hampshire is ranked 41st in population, with about 119 persons per sq. mile. New Hampshire is the 3rd largest state in New England. The state's nickname is The Granite State, because of the large amount of granite in the state. New Hampshire was admitted into the Union on June 21, 1788, it was the ninth state admitted.
New Hampshire's state bird is the Purple Finch which is a small but unusual bird. It's name could fool you though, because the bird is really red. The state flower is the Purple Lilac, tree, the White Birch, song, Old New Hampshire, motto, Live Free or Die, and the climate is a quite rainy Human Continental Climate.
The state's economy includes agriculture, mining, fishing, and manufacturing. Agriculture includes milk, eggs, and greenhouse, mining includes sand and gravel, fishing produces lobster, and manufacturing produces machinery, scientific instruments, electrical equipment, plastic products, printed materials, and paper products.
Some major geographic features are Old Man of the Mountain, Mount Washington, which is the highest mountain in the state that stands 6,288 ft. in the air, Lake Winnepesaukee, and Merrimack River. New Hampshire has 9,297 sq. miles of land area. New Hampshire also contains the Coastal Lowlands, the Eastern New England Upland, and the White Mountains Region. Some natural resources are soil, forests, and minerals. The border states of New Hampshire are Canada to the North, Maine to the East, Vermont to the West, and Massachusetts to the South.
Did you know that 80% of New Hampshire is covered with forest, that makes it a big attraction for animals such as, deer, rabbit, foxes, mink, beavers, raccoons, squirrels, and chipmunks.
