Incorporated: 1774
 
Origin: Landaff was first granted in 1764 to James Avery and over sixty other colonists. The town was named for the Bishop of Llandaff in Cardiff, Wales, chaplain to King George III. In 1770, Governor John Wentworth, discovering that few had settled their claims, proposed using the site for Dartmouth College. The claim was declared forfeited and a regrant of the land was issued to the college. The town was incorporated as Landaff in 1774. After the Revolution, some of the earlier grantees claimed that the forfeiture was not legal. The courts agreed, and the college had to abandon title.
