Berlin, first settled in 1822 by William Sessions of Gilead, Maine, began as Maynesborough and was incorporated as the town of Berlin in 1829. The invention of the water turbine allowed early residents to harness the immense power of the Androscoggin River, which bisects the town. The arrival of the railroad in 1852 aided the transport of timber and later paper products, helping to give Berlin the nickname "the City that Trees Built." Incorporated as a city in 1897, what began as a small town grew until it was, for a time, the world's largest manufacturer of paper products.

Excerpt from Sixty-Sixth Annual Report of the City of Berlin, N. H., 1963 This is a report of the activities of the City Government for the fiscal year ended January 31, 1963. The activities described in it reflect the manner in which the administrative staff have carried out the policies as determined by the Mayor and City Council in their capacity as representatives of the people of Berlin. The progress and accomplishments during the past year could not have been achieved without the splendid cooperation between the City Council, Department Heads and City employees. There is a great deal in the City of Berlin of which all of us can be justly proud. However, we are not perfect, nor perhaps will we ever be, but I feel confident that the combined efforts of all our fellow-citizens, especially those many civic-minded men and women serving on our various boards and committees, can only result in a bigger and better Berlin.
