Town History
Welcome to the Town of Whitefield, New Hampshire, incorporated in 1804. This traditional New England town is situated along the Johns River north of both Franconia Notch and Crawford Notch and northwest of Mount Washington (Elevation 6,288 feet)- the northeast’s highest peak. Residents enjoy the diversity of the four seasons in this paradise located in the Great North Woods Region bordered by the White Mountains.
We’re glad to have you visit us and hope your stay here will be a pleasant one. Whether you’re a first-time traveler or a veteran of many sojourns to the Great North Woods (and Whitefield in particular), we hope you’ll find our website informative and helpful.
