In New Hampshire, locations, grants, townships (which are different from towns), and purchases are unincorporated portions of a county which are not part of any town and have limited self-government (if any, as many are uninhabited).
John Wentworth, British colonial governor of New Hampshire, made the grant to Lieutenant Francis Green of Boston, one of the last land grants that Wentworth made to soldiers of the French and Indian Wars.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the grant has a total area of 9.5sqkm, of which 7256order=flipNaNorder=flip, or 0.08%, are covered by water.[1] The Peabody River, a northward-flowing tributary of the Androscoggin River, runs through the center of the grant, joined by its tributaries, Nineteenmile Brook and Cowboy Brook from the east and the West Branch from the west. New Hampshire Route 16 follows the Peabody River through the grant, leading southward (upstream) to the height of land at Pinkham Notch in neighboring Pinkham's Grant and north to U.S. Route 2 in Gorham. The highest point in the grant is along its eastern boundary, on the lower slopes of Middle Carter Mountain, where the elevation reaches 2540feet above sea level.
As of the 2020 census, no people lived in the grant.[2]
