Hillsborough
Hillsborough, a quintessential New England town, is situated along the banks of the Contoocook River in southern New Hampshire. Granted in 1735 as "Number 7" to Col. John Hill, this small tract of land about six miles square was originally set up as a northern barrier against Native American attacks. Since its incorporation in 1772, Hillsborough has transitioned from small farming community to vibrant mill town to tourist destination and summer residence. Hillsborough has been home to farmers, millers, businessmen, musicians, photographers, governors, and a US president. Even with all of the growth and changes Hillsborough has endured over the centuries, it retains its small-town feel and welcomes all who come to visit.

Plant City
Local legend says that Henry B. Plant never came to Plant City, Florida, the town named for him. That may be true; however, he played a significant role in the development of the city. In the mid-1880s, he extended his South Florida Railroad through Plant City, providing a means for growth and prosperity. Plant City was incorporated in 1885 in Hillsborough County. The original community settlement, known as Shiloh, was north of the current town center. A walk through historic Shiloh Cemetery is a walk through the history of Plant City, with granite markers dating as far back as 1841. There you will find the names of the founding families: Branch, Collins, Cone, Evers, Howell, Hancock, Hawthorne, Knight, Merrin, Wilder, and Wheeler.
