DERRY INCORPORATED 1827
Derry was settled in 1719 by a
group of 16 Presbyterian fami-
lies who ed Northern Ireland.
When the families arrived in
Boston, they were not welcomed
by the Colonists. They were, how-
ever, granted land in what was
then the northern wilderness.
In 1722, the town was incor-
porated under the name of Lon-
donderry. It covered what is now
Windham, Derry, Londonderry
and parts of surrounding towns.
Gradually the towns separated.
In 1827 Derry was incorporated
under its current name.
Derry has grown rapidly
since the 1963 with the opening
of I-93, which links the town
to Boston and Northern New
Hampshire.
Derry has more than 33,000
residents, ve times the num-
ber who lived there before the
highway opened. The town now
houses many apartment units
and industrial parks, which sup-
port the booming population.
Derry offers many activities
to residents, with an active Rec-
reation Department and several
parks and playgrounds.
Robert Frost, the celebrated
American poet, lived with his
family in Derry from 1900 to
1911. The Robert Frost Farm is
a National Historical Landmark
that is open to the public. The
farm offers tours, displays and
readings that educate the public
about Frost, his poetry and life
in Derry.

WHERE WE LIVE 2
LONDONDERRYINCORPORATED 1722
Londonderry gets its name
from the hometown of the
Irish-Scottish settlers who
first established the town
in the 18th century. Many
of these settlers left homes
in Londonderry, Ireland. So
when they enacted a new town
charter on June 21, 1722, they
named their new home after
the old.
Originally the town included
parts of Manchester, Hudson,
Windham, Salem and Derry.
However, over time many of
these areas were claimed
by other towns, leaving Lon-
donderry with 42 square miles
of its own.
During the late 1700s, Lon-
donderry became known for
the linen that was produced in
town. George Washington and
Thomas Jefferson are reputed
to have worn Londonderry
Linen, which was touted as the
best in New England.
The linen was so popular
that many people claimed their
product was Londonderry
Linen. To combat this, the
House of Representatives
passed legislation saying that
all linen manufactured in Lon-
donderry must have a seal to
show its authenticity.
Today, Londonderry is home
to more than 24,000 residents.
Many people live in the south-
eastern part of town, which is
near I-93 and N.H. Route 102.
Businesses are concentrated
in this area, or in the northern
part of town, which houses the
Manchester-Boston Regional
Airport.

PELHAM INCORPORATED 1746
Although Pelham is a small town, it
boasts something no other local town does:
a full 18-hole disc golf course. This unique
sport follows the same idea as golf; get
through the course with a few points as
possible. But instead of hitting a ball, disc
golf players toss a disc (like a Frisbee) into
a basket.
The course is part of Muldoon Park, the
largest recreational area in Pelham. The
park also offers venues for more conven-
tional sports, including baseball and soc-
cer, in addition to hiking trails. Some of the
trails lead to Beaver Brook, a small river
where residents can launch a canoe.
Pelham boarders Massachusetts and
contains the southern-most point in New
Hampshire.
The town is home to about 13,000 resi-
dents. It has its own school system, which
consists of a preschool, elementary, middle
and high school.

WINDHAM INCORPORATED 1742
For a quiet town,
Windham boasts a big
voice in Sully Erna,
vocalist and songwriter
for the metal band
Godsmack.
In other interesting town
trivia, Windham, along with
neighboring Derry and Lon-
donderry, originally was known
as Nuteld because of the large
number of nut trees that were
found in the area.
The town was home to the
Pawtucket Indians before Scot-
tish settlers began homestead-
ing in 1719. In 1742, the town
was incorporated.
Today, Windham is home to
about 13,500 residents. It has
its town schools system, which
serves more than 1,600 students
in four schools. Windham also
has active youth sports programs,
as well as many other extra-cur-
riculars for active residents.
Windham has a town beach
open to residents and their
guests located on the shore of
Cobbetts Pond. The town also
has access to Canobie Lake for
boating, but swimming is not per-
mitted in Canobie Lake because
it is Salems water supply.
For those who like to keep
their legs on dry land, Windham
offers Grifn Park, featuring a
playground, sports elds and
walking trails.
The Windham Rail Trail,
build on abandoned rail lines,
runs from Windham to Derry,
covering 4.1 miles of paved
walking and biking trails.
