Chartered in 1765 by Colonial Governor Benning Wentworth, the town is named for Henry Seymour Conway, ambitious son of a prominent English family, who was elected to the House of Commons at age twenty, fought at Culloden, and became Secretary of State. Early settlers had named the area "Pequawket" (known colloquially as "Pigwacket"), after the local Abenaki tribe whose community astride the Saco River once stretched to Fryeburg, Maine.
The picturesque small village is nestled directly in the heart of the White Mountains, and has long been popular with tourists and artists, particularly after the Portsmouth, Great Falls & Conway Railroad extended service in 1872 from Conway to North Conway. In 1874, the company built an extraordinary Second Empire depot, designed by Nathaniel J. Bradlee of Boston. In 1932, "snow trains" began carrying enthusiasts to "the birthplace of American skiing," as North Conway is known.
