  • Regional Context
    Regional Context Introduction The Southwest Region of New Hampshire The State of New Hampshire is divided into nine regions, each with a Regional Planning Commission (RPC) to assist towns with a more local approach to community planning rather than at the state level. The landscape of the Southwest Region (also known as the Monadnock Region), a 34-town area in Cheshire, western Hillsborough, and Sullivan Counties, is mostly forested with rural and suburban residential development dispersed between village centers. Approximately 100,751 people lived in 45,744 households in the 976-square-mile region in 2010. Town populations ranged from 224 in Windsor to 23,409 in Keene. Population density region-wide has grown from 64 persons per square mile in 1970 to 103 persons per square mile in 2010. The Monadnock Region gets its name from Mount Monadnock, which rises 3,165 feet above sea level and is visible from all the towns in southwestern New Hampshire. Mount Monadnock is the most significant symbol of the entire region and is believed to be the second most climbed mountain in the world. The peak of the mountain and a large portion of its bulk lie within the borders of Jaffrey. For that reason the town has for decades accepted responsibility for safeguarding Mount Monadnock. With Mount Monadnock as the regional identifier, is also serves as a divisional boundary by splitting the region into two smaller groupings of towns, or sub regions. One is dominated by the Connecticut River Valley’s population centers of Keene and Brattleboro as employment, commercial and population centers.
