Landaff was first granted rights as a town in 1764, but was originally known as Witcherville. The name was changed to Landaff when it was incorporated in 1764; so-named for the Bishop of Llandaff, who was chaplain to England's King George III. The first recorded census in this town was the same year it was officially granted and it is recorded that there were only 60 colonists at that time. The original claim on this town was negated because Governor Wentworth discovered that most people had not fulfilled the original guidelines to the town grant, so he pulled the township claim, and decided to make Landaff a foundation for Dartmouth College. However several years later, townspeople discovered that the revocation was not legal, and re-filed their claim.
