ABSTRACT Little systematic knowledge of the socio-economic impacts of town relocations is available to the Corps of Engineers planners and others interested in relocation of towns. This study retrospectively analyzes the 1940 relocation of Hill, New Hampshire. The process and techniques of relocation and the social, political and economic impacts of the relocation are examined over three time periods; pre-relocation, relocationconstruction, and post relocation. Three basic analyses were performed to illustrate the process and impacts of relocation on this rural community; (1) an archival search, (2) a trend analysis of social and economic indicators, and (3) a questionnaire - attitudinal study of the existing community. Each of these methods provide separate yet overlapping conclusions. Residents of Hill worked together under the direction and advice of state planners and selectmen to reestablish their village one-half mile from its previous site. In the decentralized planning process which ensued, the town as a whole benefited financially from the move, while some individuals were displaced. A trend analysis of several social and economic indicators showed that fluctuations in population, tax base, the number of commercial enterprises, etc., paralleled that of other communities of the same size in the area. Hill did show some significant decreases in such indicators as population and the number of commercial and industrial businesses, however, within a few years, Hill was again comparable to its neighbors along these dimensions illustrating that the impacts were short term. The community questionnaire portrayed Hill to be somewhat of a divided community between the population that had experienced the relocation, and those who had moved to Hill after it was reestablished. When age and length of time lived in Hill are held constant, differences in community involvement and the level of anomie still exist between respondents who relocated and those who moved to Hill later. 1
