New Durham is a town in Strafford County, New Hampshire, United States.

New Durham is home to the Powder Mill Fish Hatchery, located on Merrymeeting Road.

With a somewhat uneven and rocky surface, the town was better suited to grazing than cultivation.

Lumber became the chief article of trade, and by 1859 New Durham had five sawmills and four shingle mills.

[3] On September 19, 1849, the Cocheco Railroad opened through the town, connecting Dover with Alton Bay.

The northern part of town is home to Merrymeeting Lake and its outlet, the Merrymeeting River, which flows west to Lake Winnipesaukee and is part of the Merrimack River watershed.

The mountain's 1,868-foot (569 m) summit is in the neighboring town of Brookfield, in Carroll County.
