History
From Laconia to Barnstead, Route 107 is part of the Old Province Road, the first "farm to market" road in New Hampshire. Province Road was planned in 1763 to divert crops from being shipped down the Connecticut River from the Haverhill area, then called "Little Co-os", and instead have them brought to the Durham area.[17] Province Road began the great era of roadbuilding in New Hampshire, a dream of Governor John Wentworth, which had to wait until the end of the French and Indian Wars.[18]
