==History== [[Image:PostcardWarrenNHAndMtCarr1912.jpg|thumb|left|Bird's-eye view, 1912]] Warren was granted in 1763 by Governor [[Benning Wentworth]], and incorporated in 1770 by Governor [[Sir John Wentworth, 1st Baronet|John Wentworth]]. The town takes its name from Admiral Sir [[Peter Warren (Royal Navy officer)|Peter Warren]]. It was first settled in 1767 by Joseph Patch.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=OcoMAAAAYAAJ&dq=coolidge%20mansfield%20history%20description%20new%20england%201859&pg=PA672 Austin J. Coolidge & John B. Mansfield, ''A History and Description of New England;'' Boston, Massachusetts 1859]</ref> From 1909 until 1970, Glencliff, located in the northern part of Warren, was the mailing address for the New Hampshire State Sanatorium, located just over the town line in [[Benton, New Hampshire|Benton]], at an elevation of {{convert|1650|ft|m}} on the slopes of [[Mount Moosilauke]]. Before the discovery of [[antibiotic]]s, pure mountain air was thought to be curative for patients with [[tuberculosis]]. With its own farm on {{convert|500|acre|ha}}, the facility treated more than 4,000 individuals over its first half century, admitting between 50 and 100 per year. Many came from the industrial cities of southern New Hampshire such as [[Concord, New Hampshire|Concord]], [[Manchester, New Hampshire|Manchester]] and [[Nashua, New Hampshire|Nashua]]. It is now the Glencliff Home for the Elderly.<ref>[http://dartmed.dartmouth.edu/summer03/html/mountain_aerie.shtml Paige Wickner and Fordham Von Reyn, M.D., ''Mountain Aerie;'' History of the New Hampshire State Sanatorium]</ref> The town's most famous landmark is a [[Redstone (rocket)|Redstone]] [[ICBM|ballistic missile]] erected in the center of the village green. It was donated by Henry T. Asselin, who transported the missile from the [[Redstone Arsenal]] near [[Huntsville, Alabama]], in 1971, then placed it in honor of long-time Senator [[Norris Cotton]], a Warren native.<ref name="Asselin">{{cite book| title=The Redstone Missile - Warren, NH| url=http://homepage.mac.com/misterbisson/WarrenRocket/brochure.pdf| last=Asselin| first=Ted| year=1996| publisher=Bryan Flagg| location=Warren| access-date=January 7, 2010| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060705032710/http://homepage.mac.com/misterbisson/WarrenRocket/brochure.pdf| archive-date=July 5, 2006| url-status=dead}}</ref> <gallery> Image:Church & Schoolhouse, Warren, NH.jpg|Church and school {{circa|1910}} Image:State Sanatorium, Glencliff, NH.jpg|State Sanatorium in 1909 Image:Warren Summit School, Glencliff, NH.jpg|Summit School in 1915 </gallery>
