## History

[edit]

Prior to the Class D level league of 1907, the New Hampshire State League played in the 1885, 1886 and 1895 seasons as an Independent level league. The 1886 New Hampshire League featured teams based in the New Hampshire cities of Concord, Manchester (three teams, including West Manchester, "Amoskeag"), and Nashua. The league standings and records for the three seasons are unknown.[1][2]

The New Hampshire State League began play in the 1907 season as a Class D level league.[3] It was an eight–team league that began play on May 11, 1907. During the 1907 season, the New Hampshire State League folded four teams. A meeting was held on June 17, 1907, where the league was restructured and changed its name to the Vermont State League, beginning play July 2, 1907.[4][5][6]

The standings for the New Hampshire State League were affected by four franchises who did not play the complete season. The standings through June 29, 1907, were led by the Barre-Montpelier Intercities with a record of 19–6, followed by the Burlington Burlingtons (13–12), West Manchester (11–12) and Laconia/Plattsburgh Brewers (8–14). The teams from East Manchester (7–7), Franklin (5–7), Nashua (3–3) and Concord (2–7) folded during the season.[7][8]

The Vermont State League continued play as an Independent four–team league beginning, July 2, 1907. Rutland, Vermont joined the Barre-Montpelier Intercities, Burlington Burlingtons and Plattsburgh Brewers in the Vermont State League. The final standings of the 1907 Vermont State League were Barre-Montpelier Intercities 12–4, Burlington Burlingtons 6–5, Rutland 5–8 and the Plattsburgh Brewers 5–11.[9][10][8]
