History
In October 2005, heavy flooding in the New Hampshire area forced the closure of NH 123 in two different locations. The first was at the intersection of NH 123 and Cold River Road, approximately five miles from the beginning of NH 123 in New Hampshire, where a bridge was destroyed from high water in the Cold River. The second closure was approximately three miles from New Hampshire Route 123A in the town of Alstead where a section of roadway was completely washed away by the water. Both sections were subsequently rebuilt and reopened.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If you look at the 150 years of modern China’s history since the Opium Wars, then you can’t avoid the conclusion that the last 15 years are the best 15 years in China’s modern history.”
—J. Stapleton Roy (b. 1935)
