More on Keene
Keene dates back to 1735, when Colonial Governor Jonathan Belcher granted lots to 63 families to settle there. Originally called Upper Ashuelot, the town was later in 1753 renamed after Sir Benjamin Keene, the English minister to Spain.
Keene developed with a variety of industries in the mid 19th century, but most of these went bust during the Great Depression. Today the city has evolved into a center for insurance, education and tourism. It is home to Keene State College and Antioch University New England.
