Acworth is a town in Sullivan County, New Hampshire, United States.

In 1754, however, the French and Indian War broke out, and no settlements were made under the charter.

[4] Wentworth regranted the township on September 19, 1766,[5] naming it after Sir Jacob Acworth, a former Surveyor of the Royal Navy.

Acworth was incorporated in 1772 by Governor John Wentworth,[7] but war again slowed its development.

[8] The highest point in Acworth is Gove Hill in the northeast part of town, at 1,939 feet (591 m) above sea level.

The town is crossed by one numbered state highway, New Hampshire Route 123A, which follows the Cold River and passes through the village of South Acworth.

19.8% of all households were made up of individuals, and 7.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
