NH Patch's Top Stories of 2015

The New Hampshire Patch news and community websites have been live for more than four and a half years and during that time, we’ve seen phenomenal audience growth – so much so that we can easily say that 2015 was our biggest and best year yet.

Our 12 sites, covering 13 communities around New Hampshire – Amherst, Bedford, Concord, Exeter, Hampton and North Hampton, Londonderry, Merrimack, Milford, Nashua, Portsmouth, Salem, and Windham – had more than 10.9 million pages views for 2015 (through Dec. 21, 2015), the most ever.

The Concord NH Patch site – the state’s flagship site – pulled down more than 4.2 million of those page views.

While crime stories, breaking news, and political posts tend to be the most popular regular things read on Patch, this year’s top posts included a story about why New Hampshire is the No. 1 state in the country, a blog post about why shredded chicken is so easy to prepare, and a column of 10 things every high school graduate should know.
