The New Hampshire State Championships, also called the New Hampshire Championships, was a men's and women's tennis tournament founded in 1895 as a sanctioned event of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association. It was first held at the Center Harbor LTC, Center Harbor, New Hampshire, United States. The tournament was held in conjunction with the White Mountains Tennis Championships from 1905 to 1950. It ran annually as part of the USNLTA Circuit from 1895 to 1923, then as part of ILTF Circuit from 1924 to 1970, when it was dropped from that circuit.




History


In 1890 the first edition of the East Side of the White Mountains Championships was held. That tournament was a United States National Lawn Tennis Association sanctioned event. The tournament was organized by the Iron Mountain Lawn Tennis Association and held at the Iron Mountain LTC, Jackson, New Hampshire. This event ran until 1895 then was discontinued. In 1905 the tournament was revived at Crawford Notch, New Hampshire as the White Mountains Championships. It was located approximately 20 miles (32 km) from Jackson, and played on outside tennis courts at the Crawford House, where the men's tournament was held in conjunction with the New Hampshire State Championships. The women's tournament continued to be held in Jackson, New Hampshire, until 1916 under its original name the East Side of the White Mountains Championships.
In 1924 the women's tournament was added to the schedule of the New Hampshire State Championships as a combined tournament known as the New Hampshire and White Mountains Championships, with players assuming both titles e.g. New Hampshire State Champion and White Mountains Champion. The joint tournament was held in Crawford Notch until the beginning of the Second World War. Following the war it was still being held in Crawford. By 1950 the New Hampshire State Championships and White Mountains separated into two events; the former continued to be played at Crawford Notch, while the latter moved to Waumbec Tennis Club at Jefferson, New Hampshire. In 1964 the tournament moved to Concord, New Hampshire. With the onset of the open era looming, this tennis tournament was discontinued in 1970.
