Stratham was settled in 1631 and incorporated in 1716. The area, called Winnicutt by the Pennacook people, was known as "Squamscott Patent" or "Point of Rocks" because of its location between Great Bay and the Squamscott River. The sixth town in the colony to be incorporated, the town was named for Wriothesley Russell, Baron Howland of Streatham, a friend of New Hampshire Royal Governor Samuel Shute.
The town is unusual among New England settlements of its size in having been comprehensively mapped in 1793 by Phinehas Merrill. It is therefore possible to identify how many of the extant buildings of the town predate the map.
Beginning in 1967, the town hosted the annual Stratham Fair, held at Stratham Hill Park during the summer. However, the fair was canceled in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and has not been held since, reportedly due to net operating losses in its final year, along with outdated equipment and infrastructure. Since 2023, the town has held an annual "Summerfest" at the park. Stratham Hill Park was the site of a wood pavilion collapse during a microburst in 1991, which cause the deaths of three people and left 11 others injured.
The town has multiple properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including the John Crockett House, Emery Farm, and original Wiggin Memorial Library building.
