Apartments for Rent in Nashua, NH (221 Rentals)

Founded in the 1600s as a fur trading post, Nashua was originally called Dunstable. Its location at the confluence of the Merrimack and Nashua Rivers made it an easily accessible trading town. During the 1800s it was less of a trading town, as it evolved into a center for commerce. Like many other cities in New England, Nashua was once a thriving center of textile manufacturing. During the Industrial Revolution, its name changed, and it became home to a number of cotton mills. The energy harnessed from the river gave Nashua the power it needed to become a well-established part of the country's industrial output. Unfortunately, as the textile trade tapered off in the Northeast, Nashua entered into a downswing. In recent decades it has once again become a thriving river town, home to many professionals.
