History
Colby Hall honors the Colby family, which has long been associated with the college. Colby Hall was dedicated by one of the 11 founders of the Academy, the 19th-century New Hampshire governor Anthony Colby, to his daughter, Susan, the first teacher and principal of the Academy, and to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Colby and their children, Jessie, William and Mary.
