The first Europeans settled in New Hampshire along the seacoast in the 1620s. It was a small number of communities making a living doing fishing and traded timber and fur.
At the beginning of the 18t-century the New Hampshire communities came under the rule of the British crown colony of the Province of Massachusetts Bay, until 1741 when the Province of New Hampshire got its own government.
In January 1776, New Hampshire became the first of the British North American colonies to establish a government independent of the authority of the British Kingdom.
In 1788 New Hampshire became the ninth state to sign the United States Constitution.
In 1734 a settlement, known as the Plantation of Penacook, was incorporated as Rumford, and later renamed to Concord. In 1808 Concord became the seat of the state government of New Hampshire.
Today Concord has a population of about 43,000 inhabitants (in 2018).
Concord is home to the University of New Hampshire School of Law (law.unh.edu), the private college-preparatory of St. Paul's School, and a community college.

However, I will mostly upload a blog about bikes and their development in the next few months! Recently, I have so much into ebike cargo. They say this type of bike can replace the car! And I am very into it since my place is crowded with traffic jams! The video above showed a funny situation: I started the review from Brooks's handle! And after nine years! It's still an excellent bike handle and not even destroyed!

Custom LEGO Transformers Devastator
My faith in humanity is restored! OK, that’s a bit overboard – but you couldn’t blame me if you see an incredibly, exquisitely and wonderfully executed custom LEGO Transformers Devastator such as this by Alex Jones. I feel transported to the 80’s once again, with the same intense childhood wonder when I first saw the Constructicons combine and become the formidable Devastator.
