MONROE
Monroe occupies a narrow strip of land along the Connecticut River- it was once a part of Lyman. Monroe was authorized by the State in 1854 and named in honor of the country’s fifth President. The fertile river

LIVERMORE
Livermore is an unincorporated civil township in Grafton County. It was briefly inhabited as a logging town in the late 19th century. In 1937 all but 1 12-acre parcel is sold to the US Forest Service and in 1951 the town
is dissolved by an act of the NH legislature. Located 15 miles from Lincoln on the Kancamagus Highway, which opened in 1959, it also borders a southern tip of Bethlehem and to the south is Waterville Valley. Lincoln, in the 70’s presented a bill in the State House to annex Livermore but was defeated. The elevation is 2,054 and a 2000 census recorded a population of 3.

Steve, this is a good way to show the town stats in the county...if you don't mind I think I may use it for a post in the Greenbrier County,m WV.
I have taken the Hike over to the East Pond trail (livermore NH) from the Kancamagus Highway...Sorry no pictures but this is the starting point. (and over to Greeley Pond too).
Steve, so I am assuming all three espcially Livermore do not have problems with heavy traffic. I would bet none have any stop lights for that matter, I lived in a similar rural setting in northern Cal. in a town of 450 for twelve years.....
Steve, great post on a local area. Wow, 843 people, is that possible? Well, I live in a small town, but that is really small.
Gerry & Kim ...these are not thriving metropolis's but we like it that way.
Steve, Grafton county sounds like THEplace to live if you want, peaceful, beauty and get away from it all living......I'm all for that!!! Hard to find that kind of community and tranquility today, it's nice to know their still around.
Debbie...the White Mountain national forest, is mostly a low population area and we like it that way
Awesome pictures of the areas around you. Looks like a nice place to live or just get away!
Steve, a little more going on in Piermont with the higer tax rate...and Livermore sounds like my kind of place...population "3"...sounds good to me.
