There are people who shape the American culture – many people – but to claim that so many influential Americans have come from a small, modest town in New Hampshire is a testament to a community’s greatness.

Londonderry, New Hampshire was originally called Nutfield but the increase in Irish immigrants to the area claimed the small, empty region and named it Londonderry after their home in Ireland. This small community has since blossomed into a town that has bread some of the finest Americans in history: the Revolutionary War hero, General John Stark, acclaimed poet Robert Frost, the first American in space, Alan B. Shepard, and one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, Matthew Thornton.

The Londonderry community stands for greatness in the personal and professional lives of its citizens, and today, that greatness is apparent in its first-class government, social services, and the many opportunities available to all who come to the area.

Some would see Londonderry as primarily a rural community, but it is in fact, a great economical hotbed where education, the arts, business, and safety is mixed with the hometown feel of the area. Londonderry’s excellent town services, a highly professional emergency medical services department and a nationally recognized arts and leisure council have made Londonderry one of New Hampshire’s most desirable places to live. Come be a part of greatness in Londonderry!
