Fact text

  • A Nashua defense-firm employee invented the Magnavox Odyssey, the very first commercial home video game console, making Nashua the unlikely birthplace of couch gaming.
  • The city's nickname is 'Gate City,' because it sits between Boston and New Hampshire like a giant welcome mat you cross to escape Massachusetts sales tax.
  • Shopping in Nashua is practically a sport, the Pheasant Lane Mall sits right on the Massachusetts border so Bay Staters can dash over and dodge sales tax.
  • Nashua's name comes from a word in the Penacook language meaning 'beautiful stream with a pebbly bottom', a very poetic name for a place known for mall shopping.
  • Despite being a smallish New England city, Nashua once split into TWO separate towns, briefly had a neighborhood called 'Nashville,' then reunited, a dramatic breakup story with a happy ending.
