Portsmouth is the third oldest city in
the USA and is prominent in New Hampshire's seacoast region. Settled in
1623, Portsmouth is a historic seaport and home of the first Naval Shipyard.
It sits at the mouth of the Piscataquis River on the eastern edge of the
Rochester-Portsmouth metropolitan area. The region, often called "The
Seacoast," is home to 125,000 and includes the cities of Rochester, Dover,
Hampton, and Kittery, Maine.
Portsmouth ranks as the 16th safest region in the United States according
to Morgan Quitno 's
2003 report. Tourism drives much of New Hampshire's economy, but Portsmouth
maintains some of its economic heritage through the redevelopment of
Pease International Tradeport .
