Littleton is a city in New Hampshire.
Get in
The town is at the intersection of Rt. 302 and Rt. 116, and has two exits off of Interstate 93. Its population varies with the season, but the last census (2010) pegged us at 4,412. Littleton seems larger, as it is a hub for a number of nearby smaller towns whose residents utilize many of Littleton's services (health care,shopping, arts and entertainment, etc.). Littleton has been featured in a number of magazines in the past decade as particularly attractive, vibrant, welcoming, and resourceful. The downtown area has not deteriorated as have many New England towns when the "Big Box" stores arrived, and retains an authentic charm.
