In New Hampshire, locations, grants, townships (which are different from towns), and purchases are unincorporated portions of a county that are not part of any town and have limited self-government (if any, as many are uninhabited).

The land was sold in 1797 to George Wentworth of Portsmouth and operated as an unorganized 'plantation' from 1797–1881; town was incorporated, 1881–1966, then became an organized 'township'.

The Location is along the border with Maine and north of the town of Errol, east of Dixville. To the north is the Second College Grant. The Magalloway River traverses the southeastern corner, as does Route 16. Mount Dustan, elevation 2,878 feet (877 m) above sea level, is the location's highest point and overlooks the village from the west. Black Mountain, elevation 2,750 feet (840 m) is in the more remote western edge of the location. At one point there was a fire tower on Mount Dustan.
