Named for Marlow, England, the town of Marlow, New Hampshire was first granted as Addison by Colonial Governor Benning Wentworth in 1753. However, as a result of the French and Indian War, very few of the original grantees settled on the land, so it was regranted in 1761 to William Noyes and sixty-nine others, mostly coming from Lyme, Connecticut, at which time the town was renamed Marlow. The early economy of the town was driven by a woodworking industry. Today, Marlow is a lightly populated community in northern Cheshire County. Marlow is northwest of Stoddard, south of Gee Mill, and east of Alstead and East Alstead.
