Greenland is a town in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, United States.

One of the earliest settlements in the state, Greenland was a parish of Portsmouth (then called Strawbery Banke) operating in 1638.

[3] Captain Francis Champernowne moved from Strawbery Banke in 1640[4] and settled in the area of the present Portsmouth Country Club.

His extensive landholdings included a farm which is now the town of Madbury, named for his ancestral home in Devon, England.

On September 1, 1824, the Marquis de Lafayette was received by the citizens of Greenland at a triumphal arch erected in front of the local hotel.

[1] The highest point in Greenland is Breakfast Hill, at 151 feet (46 m) above sea level, on the town's border with Rye.

Greenland is abutted by Great Bay to the north and is primarily drained by the Winnicut River.
