It was established as a land grant college in Hanover in association with Dartmouth College in 1866 and incorporated in the same year. It relocated to Durham in 1893 and took its present name in 1923.

There are six different colleges located on the Durham campus of the university. The University of New Hampshire now has seven colleges, one of which is located in Manchester and is called the University of New Hampshire at Manchester. Concord, the city that serves as New Hampshire's capital, is home to the University of New Hampshire School of Law. The institution is categorised as a "R1: Doctoral University – Extremely high research activity," since it is a member of the University System of New Hampshire.

With approximately 15,000 students enrolled across its many campuses as of 2018, the University of New Hampshire was the biggest public university system in the state of New Hampshire. It was also the state-sponsored institution that charged in-state students the highest tuition fees of any school in the United States.
