List Of Mountains In New Hampshire
List of Mountains in New Hampshire is a general list of mountains in New Hampshire, with elevation. This list includes many mountains in the White Mountains range that covers about a quarter of the state, as well as mountains outside of that range. Some are included in lists of mountains, such as the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) list of the Hundred Highest peaks of New England, or the subset with elevations of over — the "4000 Footers".

An example is the Mount Clay, north-northwest along the ridge joining the peak of Mount Washington with that of Mount Jefferson, and rising about above the general trend of that ridge.)

Sometime between 1779 and 1782, after a legal battle over the two grants, the first grant was recognized and the original name of the town was resumed.
