Huntley Nowel Spaulding (October 30, 1869 – November 14, 1955) was an American manufacturer and Republican politician from Rochester, New Hampshire. He served as Governor of New Hampshire (1927–1929). In addition, he was notable for his philanthropy in health and education.
Huntley Nowel Spaulding was born in Townsend Harbor, Massachusetts, in 1869, to Jonas Spaulding and his wife, Emeline Cummings. He was the second of three sons and a daughter Marion. His father and uncle, Waldo, had founded a leatherboard mill in the town, which was the start of their family-owned manufacturing business. The young Spaulding was educated at Lawrence Academy at Groton, class of 1885, and later Phillips Exeter Academy, class of 1889. The family later moved to North Rochester, New Hampshire, where their father Jonas opened another mill.
Spaulding and his two brothers, Leon and Rolland, worked into the family business of their father in J. Spaulding and Sons. They helped manage mills in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and New York, but lived in New Hampshire all their lives.
Spaulding became active in the Republican Party in New Hampshire. He followed in the footsteps of his younger brother Roland, who had been elected governor in 1914. He was Chairman of the New Hampshire's Food Production Committee and New Hampshire's federal food administrator World War I. He also served as chairman of the European Relief Council, a private charity that worked with other charities and government agencies to raise millions of dollars to aid orphans and refugees following the war. From 1921 to 1926 he was President of the State Board of Education.
He was elected Governor of New Hampshire in 1926, and served one term, 1927 to 1929, before the Great Depression began.
