On 21 June 1722 the little settlement of Nutfield was chartered as Londonderry, New Hampshire. It had been originally granted to a small group of Scots Irish Presbyterians who arrived from Aghadowey, Northern Ireland in 1718. Later, Londonderry was divided into Derry and Windham, New Hampshire.
A birthday party was celebrated on the Londonderry Town Common on Saturday 23 June 2012 for the 290th year of Londonderry, New Hampshire. Townspeople turned out for fine weather, food and fun with fund raising to benefit the Londonderry Historical Society. Enjoy the photos of the day, and we hope to see you next year for the 291st birthday party!
