“New Hampton School was
founded on June 27, 1821, as a Free-Will Baptist Oriented, coeducational
institution. On that day the State of New Hampshire issued a charter to the New
Hampton Academy, "having had three several readings," before the
House of Representatives. That charter, issued to William B. Kelley, Nathaniel
Norris and Joshua Drake, provided the framework for the institution that would
become the New Hampton School and emphasized the "promotion of science and
the useful arts." The school was later known as the known as the New
Hampton Literary and Theological Institution. From 1854 to 1870, the Cobb
Divinity School was affiliated with the institute before moving to Bates
College in Maine. Between 1925 and 1970 the school was a non-denominational
school for boys. It returned to coeducation in 1970.”
