The town was settled in 1718 by Scots-Irish settlers, many of whom had left their homes in Londonderry in the Province of Ulster in the north of Ireland, and arrived in Boston in 1718 to start a new life without religious wars and persecution. In 1722, the town was chartered and given the name "Londonderry".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Early History of Londonderry )〕〔("The History of Londonderry" ) The History of Londonderry by Rev Edward L. Parker page 60〕 Early Ulster Scots settlers spread out into surrounding villages, bringing Irish and Scottish names like Antrim, Derry and Dunbarton. Londonderry was the second largest town in early colonial times, and Derry, Windham and a portion of Manchester were formed from it. In 1719, the first American potato was grown in Derry, then a part of Londonderry. In 1790, the first year that a census was taken in Londonderry, the population was 2,622. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Londonderry, New Hampshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
