accretion. n. 1) in real estate, the increase of the actual land on a stream, lake or sea by the action of water which deposits soil upon the shoreline. Accretion is Mother Nature's little gift to a landowner.
New Hampshire's most popular nickname, The Granite State, refers to the extensive granite quarries in the state. Granite is the official state rock of New Hampshire. This nickname refers to the New England rivers that originate in the White Mountains of the state. Major interstate rivers include the Connecticut River, the Pemigewasset River, the Merrimack River, the Androscoggin River, and the Saco River.
New Hampshire only has a population of around 1.3 million, meaning just 0.4 percent of the U.S. population lives there. Yet time and time again, history has shown how a small number of Granite State residents can propel candidates all the way to the nomination. For example, McCain won New Hampshire over Romney in 2008 by about 13,000 votes â or by a margin similar to the 2014 enrollment at Yale University.
