One of the original 13 states (it entered the Union in 1788), New
Hampshire was named after the English county of Hampshire. New
Hampshire is called the "Granite State" because of its numerous
granite quarries; the nickname may also reflect the state's attachment
to tradition and its history of a frugal government. There are no
general sales or individual income taxes, which fits with the state
motto of "Live free or die." A relatively small state, New Hampshire
plays a major role every four years in the presidential election, as
it holds the first primary election. New Hampshire's state bird is the
purple finch and its capital is Concord.
