Originally part of Londonderry,
with Macks Leg and Andersons Gore added in. Coincidentally,
Windham, New Hampshire had earlier been created by taking part of
that state's Londonderry, though no connection can be found other
than Benning Wentworth naming both after a close friend, Charles
Wyndham, Baronet Wyndham, Earl of Somerset. Wyndham had a short but
distinguished career in government. Most consider him to have been
a man of good sense and breeding who endeavored to discharge his
duties in the best way he could. Windham attracted settlers early,
and by the 1820's had over 1,000 residents, with over half a dozen
villages and two post offices. By 1970, the population had dwindled
to 150. Windham County
