Danbury was first settled {{circa|1771}} as a part of [[Alexandria, New Hampshire|Alexandria]], but mountainous terrain separated it from the rest of the town. In 1795, it was set off and incorporated, the name suggested by a settler from [[Danbury, Connecticut]]. The town later grew by adding land from [[Wilmot, New Hampshire|Wilmot]] and [[Hill, New Hampshire|Hill]]. Farmers found the surface mostly hilly, but with some good intervales suitable for [[agriculture]]. Raising [[cattle]] and [[sheep]] became the principal occupation. By 1859, when the population was 934, it had seven [[sawmill]]s, two [[roof shingle|shingle]], [[lath]] and [[clapboard (architecture)|clapboard]] mills, and one [[Tanning (leather)|tannery]].<ref name=Coolidge>{{Cite book| last = Coolidge| first = Austin J.| author2=John B.
