Origin:
Troy was separated from Marlborough in 1815, and included parts of Fitzwilliam, Swanzey, and Richmond. A prominent citizen and friend of Governor John Taylor Gilman, Captain Benjamin Mann of Mason, suggested the name Troy. His daughter Betsy was married to Samuel Wilson, famous as Uncle Sam, and at that time a resident of Troy, New York. At least seven members to Wilson's family were living in the town at the time, thus securing the name.

More about Troy:
Troy is a quaint New England town nestled at the base of beautiful Mount Monadnock in unspoiled Southwestern New Hampshire. Troy offers all the charms of a small, self-sufficient New England community, with exceptional opportunities for recreation; including hiking, climbing, biking, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, hunting, fishing, and much more, while vacationing at local Inns or Bed & Breakfasts.

In addition, there are opportunities to explore the region's history, browse local shops, and sample local cuisine and home grown produce. As a strong and active community, Troy provides excellent police, fire and ambulance service, strong local schools, and boasts a newly renovated library. There are active senior citizen and other community groups sponsoring a variety of activities and special events throughout the year.
