ABOUT THE PLACE
About Landaff
The name on the town charter is "Llandaff", after the Bishop of Llandaff, chaplain to England's King George III. Originally, however, the land was granted as "Whitcherville" to James Avery and 60 others on January 31, 1764. But those settlers forfeited their grant by failure to comply with the requirements of the charter, so the territory was re-granted to Dartmouth College on January 19, 1770.
