History

Derry's Upper Village area was settled in 1719 by Scots-Irish Presbyterians seeking to escape persecution in their homeland, and is the town's oldest settlement. The area was incorporated as part of Londonderry in 1722, and was split off and incorporated as Derry in 1827. The village's oldest building is the First Church, built in 1769 and enlarged in 1824. Behind the church is the cemetery in which many of its early settlers are buried. The village's growth was spurred by the Choate and MacGregor families in its early years, but affiliated with the church.[3]

The village flourished as a somewhat independent entity in the 19th century, with its own post office and shops (one of which, dating to 1850, still stands on the north side of East Derry Road). The village was home to Derry's first secondary school, and was also home to John Pinkerton, founding benefactor of the Pinkerton Academy, a private school (founded 1814) which also serves the town's high school needs. It was also the location of the Adams Female Academy, founded in 1824; it was the first academy for women in New Hampshire.[3]

The village center includes the Taylor Library, the 1875 town hall (now a historical society property), and a number of fine Federal period houses from the early 19th century.[3] It also includes the childhood home of astronaut Alan Shepard.
