Although inland a ways from the ocean, Newmarket was a major player in the shipping trade industry for New England for trading and shipping with the West Indies in the mid to late 1700's. From the 1800's into the 1920's, Newmarket played a huge role in the textile industries.

The mill buildings in downtown Newmarket are a testament to how those mills dominated the local economy for many years. In the 1970's these mill buildings served as the corporate headquarters for the Timberland Company, before they outgrew the space.
