Center Harbor is a town located in Belknap County, New Hampshire, United States. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total population of 996, a number which multiplies severalfold during the summer months. It is situated between Lake Winnipesaukee and Squam Lake. Center Harbor separated from the town of New Hampton, and was first incorporated in 1797. The town gets its name from two sources: from its location, centered between Meredith and Moultonborough harbors, and also from the Senter family, who were owners of a large amount of property in the area. The town was a landing place for lake steamers and stagecoaches, making it a popular summer resort. Center Harbor was a favorite spot of John Greenleaf Whittier, and the home of Dudley Leavitt, author of the first Farmers' Almanac in 1797. Center Harbor is the winter home of the paddle steamer MS Mount Washington, the largest boat on Lake Winnipesaukee. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
