As of the 2020 census, the township had a population of four.[2] There are seasonal homes, cabins, and cottages mainly located around Success Pond, which give the township an additional small seasonal population.

As of 2005, one of the larger landowners in Success was the Androscoggin Valley Regional Refuse Disposal District.[citation needed]

History edit

Success was granted in 1773 and contained about 90,472 acres (366.1 km2). The grantees were Benjamin Mackay and about seventy others.

The state of New Hampshire requires a nearby incorporated town to exercise the responsibilities that would fall to the town of Success if it should be incorporated. Some towns in the state bearing such responsibility have sought to be relieved of it.[citation needed]

Blanchard and Twitchell Railroad edit

A railroad was built by Blanchard and Twitchell Company in 1892 from the Boston and Maine Railroad in Berlin through the aboriginal forests to Success Pond in the northeast corner of the township. Six locomotives transported lumber and logs to Berlin sawmills over the 26-mile (42 km) railway. Most of the Success township forests were gone within a decade, but the railway operated after 1904 as the George W. Blanchard and Sons Company Railroad, as Cassius M. C. Twitchell had sold his interest in the business in 1901. The Boston and Maine kept 1,600 feet (490 m) of interchange track in service when the remainder of the railroad was dismantled in 1907.[3]

Geography edit

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 57.0 square miles (147.7 km2), of which 56.5 square miles (146.3 km2) are land and 0.50 square miles (1.3 km2), or 0.91%, are water.[1] The entire township is part of the Androscoggin River watershed. Success Pond is in the north, and is drained by Chickwolnepy Stream. Stearns Brook drains the center of the township, through its North and South Branches and Meadow Brook. The Mahoosuc Range crosses the southern part of the township, draining north via Horne Brook and Bean Brook, to the west via Cascade Alpine Brook, and to the south by several small brooks, all flowing to the Androscoggin River.

The highest point in the township is the summit of Mount Success, with an elevation of 3,565 feet (1,087 m) above sea level, in the southeast part of the township along the crest of the Mahoosucs. The Appalachian Trail follows the Mahoosuc crest across the township.
