Atkinson, New Hampshire is a small town in Rockingham County. Settled in 1727 and incorporated in 1767, the community boasts a rich history spanning more than 250 years. Atkinson Academy, the oldest co-educational school in the country, was founded as a boys' school in 1787 by Reverend Stephen Peabody, General Nathaniel Peabody and Doctor William Cogswell; it began admitting girls in 1791. The school building burnt to the ground in 1802, and was rebuilt in 1803 at a cost of $2,500. That building remains a part of the Academy, housing the fifth-grade classrooms. Other historic buildings include the Atkinson Historical Society and Library and the Rockwell School.
Today, Atkinson is a thriving bedroom community, centrally located near Manchester, Nashua, Greater Boston and the Seacoast region. For other town tours visit http://www.virtualhomes.com .
