History

Prior to the Class D league in 1907, the New Hampshire State League played as an Independent league in 1885, 1886 and 1895. The 1886 New Hampshire League featured teams in the New Hampshire cities of Concord, Manchester (three teams, including West Manchester and "Amoskeag"), and Nashua.[1][2]

The New Hampshire State League began play in the 1907 season as a Class D league. It was an eight–team league that began play on May 11, 1907. The league folded four teams and changed its name to the Vermont State League, beginning play July 2, 1907. A meeting was held on June 17, 1907, where the league was restructured.[3][4][5][6]

The standings for the New Hampshire State League were affected by four franchises who did not play the complete season.
