The Town of Wolfeboro was granted by Governor John Wentworth in 1759. The name Wolfeboro was named after a hero of the Battle of Quebec, General Wolfe. Governor John Wentworth made his mansion in Smith Pond (now Lake Wentworth) and his mansion was made the first resort in the area. That is why the Town of Wolfeboro is considered as the oldest 4 seasons get-away.

In the first few years of The Town of Wolfeboro the community was a farming community. The location of the town was the stage route from Dover to Conway, which gave the opportunity to buy and sell lumber and apple products. The town was even considered or called the Slab City. It was Slab City because of the traffic of limber and wood products going in the town. Over the years the town has grown from agriculture and lumber to selling commercial products like woolen blankets, shoes, clay pipes, excelsior, dairy products, pewter, clothes, etc.
