New Hampshire also elects some House members from "floterial" districts that combine several towns. Those seats aren't listed here yet.

Sources: congressional and state legislative districts from the U.S. Census Bureau (119th Congress, 2024 state districts); members of Congress from the congress-legislators project (portraits public domain); governors and state legislators from Open States. Districts are matched to Peterborough by land area, so if the town is split, your street decides which one is yours.
