Indian Stream is a tributary of theConnecticut River, approximately 19.1 miles (30.7 km) long,[1] inNew Hampshire in theUnited States. It rises in the mountains of extreme northern New Hampshire, inCoos County near theCanada–United States border, where the East Branch of Indian Stream joins the West Branch. Indian Stream flows south-southwest, joining the Connecticut 2 miles (3 km) downstream from the village ofPittsburg.
The area around Pittsburg was the subject of a border dispute in the 1830s between the United States and Canada, leading to the short-lived, self-proclaimedRepublic of Indian Stream. The border dispute, based upon an ambiguity in theTreaty of Paris (1783), was resolved in 1842, with the river drainage and the land lying east ofHalls Stream established as part of the state of New Hampshire.
