Okay, all of the other events happened much later than 1802, so it's a simple process of elimination, but seriously, they called it the "New Hampshire fire"? If 132 buildings burned down, as Cedric added later, it hardly affected the whole state.

And looking it up, it apparently was called the Great Portsmouth Parade Fire. So, question writers, if you're asking about a totally obscure historical event, why not admit it by using its real name?
