Origin:
First granted in 1764 as Whitcherville, the town was granted to some sixty colonists. In 1770, Governor John Wentworth, discovering that few had settled their claims, proposed using the site for Dartmouth College, but when some refused to give up their claims, chose Hanover instead. The name on the town's charter is Llandaff, for the Bishop of Llandaff in Cardiff, Wales, chaplain to King George III.

More about Landaff:
Landaff is probably one of the most photographed "old hill towns" in New Hampshire. The town almost became the site of Dartmouth College, but Governor John Wentworth lost his bid to bring the college to this quaint town. Instead, Landaff Center remains the quiet, peaceful and picturesque town it is today.
