Odell, New Hampshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Odell is a township located in Coos County, New Hampshire, USA. In New Hampshire, locations, grants, townships (which are different from towns), and purchases are unincorporated portions of a county which are not part of any town and have limited self-government (if any, as many are uninhabited).

In 1851, the New Hampshire General Court authorized the governor and council to appoint a land commissioner to sell the public lands, and James Willey of Conway was appointed to that office. In 1834, Odell, which contained 23,751 acres, was sold by Commissioner Willey to Richard Odell of Conway for $1,863.
Odell is bounded to the west by Stratford, to the south by Stark, to the east by Dummer and Millsfield, and to the north by Erving's Location and Columbia.
A substantial portion of the Nash Stream Forest lies within the township. There are three mountains, each having elevations above 3,000 feet: Muise Mountain, Whitcomb Mountain and Long Mountain, whose two summits are the two highest points in Odell, at 3,661 feet (1,116 meters) above sea level each. There are only a few rough roads and no highways here.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 117.0 km² (45.2 mi²). 115.2 km² (44.5 mi²) of it is land and 1.8 km² (0.7 mi²) of it is water. The total area is 1.51% water. Odell is bordered to the north by Columbia and Erving's Location (which according to the Census has a population of 1, although that fact is disputed.)
The 2000 census claims a total population of 5. However, Suzan Collins, the Coos County administrator, disputes this fact.
