Located accross the Connecticut River from Littleton, NH and South of St. Johnsbury, Vt and accessible from Interstate #91. Originally the main village in town was called Waterford or Upper Waterford. Since the completion of the Moore Dam across the Connecticut River in 1957, the site of that village has been beneath the Moore Reservoir, which powers one of the largest hydroelectric stations in New England. The village of Lower Waterford has become the chief center in the town. Locally the village is known as White Village because most of its buildings are painted white. A still popular nickname for Lower Waterford is Pucker Street. The locals have two different explanations for it, the most popular story being that one Mrs. Sawyer, who lived in another Waterford village, gave it the name because she thought the residents of Lower Waterford "fancied that they were better than anybody else," going around with their noses in the air. Another story says that the residents of the village were all puckered up from gorging themselves on chokecherries.
