New Hampshire Road Map Travel Guide: United States #2 Shelburne, New Hampshire "Access to community of Shelburne, New Hampshire First chartered in 1769, this town was named for William Petty Fitzmaurice, Earl of Shelburne. Lord Shelburne was a supporter of independence for the American colonies, and at his insistence, the king recognized the independence of the United States." Nearby is the iconic "Old Man of the Valley" (he's a tad sad, his friend "Old Man of the Mountain" has fallen down, but there's talk of putting him back up, logistics though, you know, over by Mount Washington, where the highest winds ever recorded were and the Civil War-era cog railroad still climbs to the top, (you can also drive or ride) location of the Mount Washington Observatory).
