About New London, New Hampshire

New London is a town of 4,400 people in Merrimack County, with Lake Sunapee along its western border. The Masonian Proprietors granted this land in 1753 under the name Heidelberg, but no one ever settled there, so the grant lapsed. In 1773 a new group of speculators, led by Jonas Minot of Concord, Massachusetts, and otherwise made up of Scotch-Irish settlers from Londonderry, received roughly the same ground as the Alexandria Addition. They never lived on it. Instead they paid newcomers, mostly from Amesbury and Attleboro in Massachusetts, to clear roads and put up mills, schools and a church, then sold their land in parcels at a large profit.

Sixteen families were living in the Addition by 1779, and they petitioned the General Court to become a town called New London. Its voters held their first town meeting on August 3, 1779. When Wilmot was created in 1807, New London gave up its northern half to help form it, and the village of Otterville became part of New London in 1817.

  • The Baptists build in 1826Many of New London's early families were Baptists from Massachusetts, and town taxes long supported their church. Once the state outlawed that in 1819, the congregation could no longer worship in the town meetinghouse, so in 1826 they built their own on Main Street. Its builders worked from The Country Builder's Assistant, Asher Benjamin's 1797 pattern book, and added a Palladian window and a Revere bell. The Baptist New Meeting House joined the National Register in 2005.
  • An academy that became a collegeNew London Academy received its state charter in 1837, with Susan Colby as its first teacher and principal. It opened with 26 girls and one boy, was renamed Colby Academy in 1878, and in 1933 turned into Colby Junior College for Women. Eleanor Roosevelt came to visit on October 18, 1941.
  • Why it's Colby-SawyerColby College in Maine took the school to court twice over its name, so it settled on Colby-Sawyer, after H. Leslie Sawyer, who led it from 1922 to 1955. Men were admitted again in 1990, and the Gordon Research Conferences have gathered there since 1947.
  • Scytheville becomes ElkinsIn 1835 Richard Messer, Joseph Phillips and Anthony Colby opened a scythe works at the east end of Pleasant Lake, where three dams on the outlet drove its hammers and grindstones. It employed almost a hundred people for more than fifty years, and in 1880 the company sent out more than 120,000 blades. After it closed, the village of Scytheville was renamed Elkins in 1896 for Dr. John P. Elkins, who served as its doctor from 1875 to 1888.
  • Tomie dePaola's homeTomie dePaola, who wrote and illustrated Strega Nona, came to Colby-Sawyer in 1973 to teach and design for its theater department. He stayed on the faculty until 1976 and made New London his home.
