Samantha Smith wrote a letter
Manchester was incorporated in 1850. The town was once known as The Forks and was named for Manchester, Massachusetts.
Samantha Smith moved with her family to Manchester in 1980 and attended Manchester Elementary School. In 1982, she wrote to Soviet leader Yuri Andropov to ask about peace between his country and the United States.
Andropov replied and invited her to visit the Soviet Union, which she did in 1983. Smith later described the visit in her book Journey to the Soviet Union and hosted a children’s television special about the American presidential election.
