Derry, Town in Rockingham County, United States.
Derry is a town in southern New Hampshire located within Rockingham County. The community covers approximately 36 square miles and sits at an elevation of about 86 meters above sea level.
The area was originally part of Londonderry until separating in 1827 to become its own town. The name was chosen to honor the Irish city of Londonderry.
The town is closely tied to literature through Robert Frost's residence at a local farm, where he wrote many of his poems between 1900 and 1909. Visitors can still observe how the rural landscape and countryside life shaped his creative work.
The town has direct access to Interstate 93, offering quick connections to Manchester and Boston for visitors. The central location makes it easy to explore both urban and rural areas of the region.
Alan Shepard, the first American astronaut to enter space, was born in the town and left a lasting mark on its identity. This connection earned the community its nickname 'Spacetown'.
