History

It was at Bethlehem, in fact, that the National Hay Fever Relief Association was founded. With it traveled tourists from Boston, Massachusetts New York, New York York and elsewhere, many to avoid respiratory ailments in the low pollen count environment of "the highest town in New Hampshire" (as claimed on a present-day sign in the village, although several other towns in the state are higher). Lack of documentation would deter settlement until 1787, when the first permanent houses where built. Many would close and be demolished. There were just 33 families, with agriculture the only industry.
