The Hampshire derives from saddlebacked pigs imported to Kentucky between about 1825 and 1835 from the county of Hampshire in south-east England. Pigs remaining in this part of England developed later into the Wessex Saddleback.
The American National Swine Registry notes this as the fourth "most-recorded breed" of pig raised as livestock in the United States, and probably the oldest American breed of hog.
