The first European to explore and describe the area was Martin Pring in 1603. The Piscataqua River, a swift tidal estuary, forms a good natural harbor, and colonists settled its west bank in 1630, calling the place Strawbery Banke for the wild strawberries there. Protected by Fort William and Mary on what is now New Castle Island, the port prospered on fishing, lumber, shipbuilding and trade. Enslaved Africans were brought there as laborers as early as 1645 and were integral to its prosperity, and the town took part in the triangle trade. At its incorporation in 1653 it was named Portsmouth in honor of the colony's founder, John Mason, who had been captain of Portsmouth, Hampshire.
Portsmouth was spared most raids during King William's War, though nearby Dover, Durham and York were attacked, and its shipyard completed its first Royal Navy ship, HMS Falkland, in 1696. Governor Joseph Dudley chose the town to host the negotiations for the 1713 Treaty of Portsmouth, which temporarily ended fighting between the Abenaki and the colonies of Massachusetts Bay and New Hampshire. In 1774 Paul Revere rode to Portsmouth to warn that the Royal Navy was coming to seize the port, and the patriot government moved the capital inland to Exeter. During the Revolution ships sent by Beaumarchais brought artillery, tents and gunpowder to Portsmouth for the American cause. African Americans helped defend the town, and in 1779, 19 enslaved men of Portsmouth petitioned the legislature to abolish slavery, citing their contributions to the war.
