DERRY

Located in Rockingham County, NH, 12 miles south of Manchester, Derry is bordered by the towns of Auburn, Chester, Hampstead, Londonderry, Salem, Sandown and Windham.

Originally known as Nutfield, the first settlers arrived in 1719 led by Reverend MacGregor, of Londonderry, Ireland. In 1722, a town charter was granted under the name of Londonderry.

Today, Derry is home to some high tech manufacturing companies, but most of our business community continues to be made up of many family-owned business.

Derry is also known as the birthplace of Alan Shepard, the first U.S. astronaut in space whose famous voyage gave Derry the nickname "Space Town". Robert Frost also lived here as a young adult.
