Recognized in 1997 and 1987 as the best place to live in the U.S. and most recently as one of the safest cities by Money magazine, Nashua is the "Gateway City" to New Hampshire.
As the second largest city in New Hampshire, Nashua is the center of a dynamic region. Its excellent quality of life and proximity to Boston, the seacoast and White Mountains make Nashua an attractive growth center for New England.
Since a commercial development boom in the 1980's, the city has served as a shopping Mecca for both New Hampshire and Massachusetts's residents. The state overall has twice the concentration of employment in high tech industries than the U.S. average. Inc. Magazine rated Nashua as one of the best places to start a business.
