Originally granted in 1735 as "Number One" and regranted several times, the town was incorporated as Warner in 1774, named after Jonathan Warner. Early settlers developed a thriving farming and mill community, producing dairy, meats, vegetables, and operating sawmills, gristmills, and later factories.
Today, Warner is known for its natural beauty, the Fall Foliage Festival, and the 2,937-foot Mount Kearsarge, a popular hiking destination along the Sunapee-Ragged-Kearsarge Greenway. The town covers 55.5 square miles, with waterways draining into the Contoocook and Merrimack Rivers, and is served by Interstate 89 and NH Route 103.
