| 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. |
