Eaton is a small town in Carroll County, New Hampshire with a population of 375 at the 2000 census. Eaton includes the village of Snowville and if you've ever passed through Eaton Village or Snowville Village you know how charming of a New England style village it is. The village
of Snowville is named for the Snow family, who started a sawmill there in 1825 and sleighs, appropriately so, were once built in Snowville.  Truly classic surroundings highlight the scenery as the windy road passes Conway Lake on the northern boundary and the shoreline of beautiful Crystal Lake leading to King Pine Ski Area. Residents of the town have beach rights to Crystal Lake and enjoy the serene surroundings year round.  Granted by Governor Bennington Wentworth, and named for Theophilis Eaton, the town was created and incorporated in 1760.
