KNOWOL made this map in 2026 from public survey data and gave it the look of an old county atlas, shading the hills from United States Geological Survey elevation data and drawing the roads and town line from the Census Bureau. The town covers 35.9 square miles, bounded by Landgrove and Weston on the north, Windham on the east, Jamaica on the south, and Winhall and Landgrove on the west.

From Kent to Londonderry
The first grant here came from New York on February 13, 1770, to Colonel James Rogers, and the township was called Kent. It took in what is now Windham as well. Vermont granted the town again under its new name, Londonderry, after Londonderry in New Hampshire, which was itself named for Londonderry in Ireland. The town’s page gives that charter as April 20, 1780, and the Legislature’s list has the Vermont grant on April 21, 1781. The town had organized before April 1775, and Edward Aiken represented it in the legislature from 1778 to 1789.
South Londonderry grew up on both sides of the West River, where the river’s drop gave water power to early mills and shops. Most of the village was built between about 1806 and 1860, and three dams once crossed the river there. Houses line the river in long rows, held close by the steep hillsides, with Main Street on the north bank and Winhall Hollow Road and West River Road on the south. The village center is the South Londonderry Village Historic District, with two 19th-century churches, two former schools and the Londonderry Town House. The town hall was built in 1860 on Middletown Road, and by the late 1800s it doubled as a stage for traveling and local theater. Its canvas stage curtain shows a scene of the Rhine River, and the town still holds its annual town meeting there.

Snow
In 1960 the ski instructor and filmmaker Hans Thorner opened Magic Mountain on Glebe Mountain, because the terrain reminded him of his native Swiss Alps. With Stratton and Bromley it made up the original “Golden Triangle” of ski areas within 10 miles of each other. Magic closed in 1991, reopened in 1997, and in 2016 a group led by a local Magic skier bought it and put over $2 million into snowmaking, lifts and the lodge. In 1977 Jake Burton Carpenter moved to Londonderry and made the first Burton snowboards here by hand, before the company moved to Manchester in 1978. He met his wife, Donna, at a New Year’s Eve party at the Mill Tavern in Londonderry in 1981.
Ross Powers, who hails from South Londonderry, won Olympic gold in the halfpipe at the 2002 Winter Games, leading a U.S. sweep of the event. Long before him, Janette Hill Knox was born in Londonderry in 1845. She became a teacher, writer and suffragist, and for eleven years led the New Hampshire Woman’s Christian Temperance Union.
On the map, follow River Road and Winhall Hollow Road along the West River, then take Mountain Lake Road, Hells Peak Road, Boynton Road and Loon Circle. South Londonderry, Thompsonburg and Sherwood Forest are printed, and so are Lowell Lake and Lily Pond. Lowell Lake State Park circles the 102-acre lake with a trail about 3.5 miles long that passes a Revolutionary War era cemetery. North Windham and North Landgrove are printed too. North Landgrove belongs to the neighboring town of Landgrove. Londonderry dates to 1780.
