Lovell
Welcome to Lovell!
Lovell was settled in 1777 and incorporated as a town in 1800, on land that was once home to the Pequawket Native American community. The town is named for John Lovewell, who led the colonial forces in the nearby Battle of Lovewell’s Pond. In its early days the town thrived as an ideal location for mills, with its ample supply of water power. Once it was connected by railroad it became a popular vacation destination thanks to the beautiful Kezar Lake and the surrounding wilderness, which it remains today. (Source)
