Zip Code USA- Berlin, New Hampshire 03570





Today we are featuring a city of 10,000 residents nestled in the White Mountains of northern New Hampshire.

Berlin, NH, was featured in John Irving's novel "The Hotel New Hampshire," which later made into a film with Rob Lowe.

03570 was also visited by the likes of John McCain and Hillary Clinton during the days and weeks prior to the last New Hampshire Primary.

The city is nicknamed the The City That Trees Built, and it was a mostly farming community with 65 residents during the 19th century.

Berlin, NH, is also the place where America's first ski club was founded in 1882.

And, the city was the place of residence for Earl Silas Tupper (1907-1983) who founded Tupperware.

This concludes our series of entries devouted to the falling of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
