Incorporated in 18-46, Manchester is considered the largest city in NH with a population of more than 100-thousand.
Hello, I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to NH Outlook.
We're coming to you from downtown Manchester, a city which was once home to the world's largest textile manufacturing complex.
We'll take a look back at the history of the mills in a moment -- but we begin with a look at the state of the city.
Frank Guinta has been mayor of Manchester for just over a year now.
He beat incumbent Mayor Bob Baines in late 2005 in what many considered to be a major upset.
Outlook's Richard Ager caught up with Mayor Guinta to talk about the past year, the challenges ahead -- and some of the major issues facing the city.

When you travel to the Mill Yard area. you can't miss the larger than life statue of a mill girl.which represents the thousands of 19-th century working women who kept the mills going.
