"In April 1719, sixteen Presbyterian Scotch-Irish families
settled here in two rows of cabins along West Running Brook easterly of Beaver Brook. Initially known
as Nutfield, the settlement became Londonderry in 1723. The first year, a field was planted, known as
the Common Field, where the potato was first grown in North America." erected 1969 |
