Serving a dual function, the shire acted as the administrative arm of the national government as well as the citizens’ local government. New Hampshire counties were first created by the Provincial Act of 1769. The act divided the Province into five counties which later increased to the ten counties existing today. New Hampshire counties continue to serve, to protect, and to seek justice for all citizens of the state, especially the most vulnerable residents: youth, the elderly, and the disabled. 74 Town and Counties Acworth . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
