The Newmarket Industrial and Commercial Historic District encompasses the heart of a distinctive 19th century mill town, Newmarket, New Hampshire. Its mill complex is regionally distinctive for its extensive use of stone from an early date (rather than the more common brick and wood found in most southern New England mill towns), and the town is relatively well-preserved due to a significant economic decline after the mills closed in 1920. The district extends along Main Street (New Hampshire Route 108) between Gerry Street and Elm Street, Exeter between Gerry and Main, Nichols and Central Streets, and a number of smaller adjacent between Main Street and Granite and Spring Streets.
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The Stone School, listed in 1978, is a contributing resource.
