The naming of Hale’s Location dates to just prior to the American Revolution when King George III of England through Governor John Wentworth established several land grants in New Hampshire. In 1771 one of these grants was given to Major Samuel Hale for meritorious services to the Crown during the French and Indian War, known in Europe as the Seven Years’ War or King George’s War. As an officer in the New Hampshire Provincial, Hale participated at the siege and conquest of the Louisburg Fortress which guarded the St. Lawrence Bay and River at Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

The original tract of land (Hale’s Location) he received from King George III was over 1200 acres and adjoined North Conway, Albany and later the White Mountain National Forest. Accepting the grant was not without obligation. Certain duties and responsibilities came with it. He was the representative of the Crown in maintaining the land and for the people who lived there. It was his job to collect a “Head Tax” or “Poll Tax” to be sent to the King of approximately $2 for each resident. In addition, he was to record all marriages, births and deaths, to cut and maintain a road through the area, to settle or cause to be settled the land, and to make trees available to the Royal Navy for ships’ masts. A copy of the original charter is in the States Archives in Concord, NH.
