Origin:
Seabrook was first settled in 1638 when it was part of Hampton. It was incorporated as a separate town in 1768, and named Seabrook after the Seabrook River. The boundary between Hampton and Seabrook was subject to periodic dispute for nearly two centuries, and was finally settled by court decision in 1953. Seabrook is now home to the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant, itself source of much dispute and controversy.

More about Seabrook:
The town of Seabrook historically was a small rural community with a beautiful harbor, beach, and dunes. The salt marsh was hayed and used by local farmers, and the fishing business was based in the harbor. Today, Seabrook's backdrop is the Nuclear Power Plant but the landscape is a series of tide pools and marshlands, thanks to the nearby Atlantic Ocean.
