The name New Hampshire honors the English county of Hampshire. Captain John Mason, who received a land grant for the region in 1629, named it after his home county in southern England.
New Hampshire was one of the original Thirteen Colonies and became the 9th state on June 21, 1788. The demonym New Hampshirite is formed by adding -ite to the state name, a less common but traditional English suffix for demonyms.
