                         CROYDON, NEW HAMPSHIRE

 Mrs. SHAHEEN. Madam President, I rise today to commemorate the 
250th anniversary of the town of Croydon, NH.
  The town of Croydon was incorporated and granted in 1763 by Gov. 
Benning Wentworth. Named for the London suburb of Croydon, England, our 
Croydon is situated on the highlands between the Connecticut and 
Merrimack Rivers. It is home to Corbin Park, one of the largest private 
game reserves in New England. Visitors may hunt a variety of animals 
including elk, European boar and bison on 24,000 acres of forested and 
mountainous terrain. Croydon also boasts the Croydon Village School, 
one of two remaining one-room schoolhouses still in use in the State of 
New Hampshire.
  Today, Croydon's quaint, small-town feel and natural beauty continue 
to charm visitors and residents alike today. I congratulate this close-
knit community on their sestercentennial anniversary and wish them 
continued success in their next 250 years.
