Londonderry Lithia was a brand of bottled lithia water sold in the northeastern United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[1] The source of the water was in Londonderry, New Hampshire, and the company headquarters of the Londonderry Lithia Spring Water Company was in Nashua, New Hampshire.
Used as a table water and in the treatment of kidney troubles.

As a marketing promotion, Annie Kopchovsky, the first woman to bicycle around the world, changed her name in 1895 to Annie Londonderry and carried the company's placard on her journey.[3]
