In February 1937, Hill residents learned that
their village, near the Pemigewasset River,
was to become a flood control reservoir for
the Franklin Falls dam project. By January of
1940, the citizens of Hill formed an association,
purchased land, and began planning a new
model village with the help of the N.H. State
Planning and Development Commission. Construction started in 1940, and by June of 1941
the new town hall and school were completed,
along with the streets, water system, and 30
houses. The 1941 town meeting was called to
order in the old town hall, recessed, and
reconvened in the new village.
