Origin:
This region, first called Nutfield because of the heavy woods, was settled in 1718. In 1722 it was given the name Londonderry, after the Irish settlement of Scots colonists. The Irish name was originally Derry Calgach, "Calgach" meaning fierce warrior and "Derry" meaning oak woods. Early settlers spread out into surrounding villages, bringing Scottish and Irish names like as Antrim, Derry, and Dunbarton. Londonderry was the second largest town in early colonial times, and Derry and Windham were formed from it.

Mack's Apples, a pick-your-own apple orchard is a popular spot in town. From the beauty of the apple blossoms in the spring to the scarecrow contest in late October, it is a fun family destination, where kids can feed the ducks in the pond or grab an ice cream.
