Nearness to homes and places of business was the strongest attraction to Sanbornton waterfront residents; these were a lower in- come group, and therefore were tied down more closely to local places of business. The influence of friends attracting friends creates geographical and occupational clusters of summer residents, and adds momentum to the development of summer homes once the process has started. During one period a number of college professors bought open country homes in Sanbornton.
