}}Lyndeborough is a town in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, United States. The population was 1,683 at the 2010 census.[1]

History

Originally granted by the Massachusetts General Court to veterans of New England's first war with Canada from Salem, Massachusetts, the area was known as Salem-Canada. John Cram and his family were the first settlers, and established a sawmill in the community in 1736.[2] The name Lyndeborough resulted from a re-grant to a group of people that included Benjamin Lynde, who later became Chief Justice of Massachusetts. This group of proprietors never lived in Lyndeborough and may never have visited the community. For instance, while serving as a proprietor of Lyndeborough, Judge Lynde lived in Massachusetts, where he presided in Suffolk County over the trial stemming from the Boston Massacre.[3]

The town has been home to the Lafayette Artillery Company (founded 1804) since 1833. The town office building, Citizens' Hall (opened 1889), is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as is the Lyndeborough Center Historic District, which consists of the Congregational Church (circa 1836), Town Hall (1846), and remnants of the Town Pound (1774).

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|30.5|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|30.4|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|0.1|sqmi}} is water, comprising 0.38% of the town.[4] The highest point in Lyndeborough is just shy of {{convert|1800|ft|m}} above sea level, where the east ridge of North Pack Monadnock Mountain crosses the town's western border. Notable summits in town include Winn Mountain ({{convert|1686|ft|m|disp=or|abbr=on}}), Rose Mountain ({{convert|1730|ft|m|disp=or|abbr=on}}), and The Pinnacle ({{convert|1703|ft|m|disp=or|abbr=on}}).
