At therequest of townspeople, the name was changed by theVermont legislature to Bloomfield in 1830. The originof the name has two possibilities: a “made” name chosenfor its descriptive connotations, or to honor JosephBloomfield, a major in the Revolutionary War and abrigadier general in the War of 1812, during which hecommanded a battalion at the Battle of Plattsburgh,an engagement in which many Vermonters took part.The population and economy of Bloomfield has risenand fallen over the years. At its height, several hundredmen were employed in lumbering and millingoperations of the Nulhegan Lumber Company, whichowned most of the land around a village then knownas South Bloomfield; its location is now marked onlyby a cemetery. The only settlement to be found in thetown today is at the junction of Vermont Routes 105and 102, in the extreme southern corner. The town waschartered in 1762.Population: 221 Area: 40.27 sq. mi.

In Essex County, 16miles south of Quebec, sits this town whose peoplehave worked in the forests, mills, and on the railroad.Surrounding Brighton are towns and unorganizedtownships of similar shape and size: Warren Grant,Warren Gore, and Avery Gore to the north; Lewis andFerdinand to the east; to the south, East Haven andNewark and to the west, Westmore, Charleston, andMorgan. The Northeast Kingdom was relatively unsettleduntil the coming of the “iron horse.” In 1853, theGrand Trunk Railroad, the first international railway,was established in Island Pond to connect Montreal,Canada, with Portland, Maine. From those days, untilthe Great Depression in the 1930s, Brighton was a placeof great activity and prosperity. Several lumber millsoperated in the area, including one near the lake inIsland Pond. Thousands of board feet of timber werebrought to the mill, much of it white pine from the presentsite of the state park. At one time, more than 500 loggerswere working in the Brighton area. After the loggingwas done, fires swept through the logged-off lands,many started by sparks from the railroad. In 1903, 1,200acres in Lewis, Ferdinand, Bloomfield, Brunswick andBrighton were burned.

All articles passed.BrowningtonBrownington originally was granted in 1782 andchartered in 1790. As with many of the other townsin northern Vermont, the grantees of Browningtongot caught in a dispute between the legislature andthe governor and council over which branch of governmenthad the right to grant land within the state.The two chief grantees of Brownington were Danieland Timothy Brown, six other male Browns and onewoman, Sarah Brown. Most of the grantees lived inthe older, established towns in the southwestern partof Vermont, and it is very doubtful that any of themever intended to relocate to the new town. There issome indication in the legislative records that theBrowns at one time tried to sell all or part of the townto a group of Connecticut men, among whom werea son of the Reverend Jonathan Edwards, and theHonorable William Samuel Johnson, after whom thetown of Johnson was named. Eventually the wranglingin the legislature was resolved by establishinga commission to hear the individual cases, and onone day alone in 1788 no fewer than seventeen townswere certified as being eligible for charters. In thecase of Brownington the charter was further delayeduntil the granting fees were paid by Timothy Brown.In 1792, Joseph Fay, then Secretary of the governorwelcome to Brightonwww.islandpond.comBurgers & SeafoodFull-service BarFriendly StaffOpen 7 Days!Located on theSnowmobile Trail.Daily Specials • Fresh Seafood • Eat In or Take OutFriday and Saturday Specials:• Prime Rib • Fresh Seafood• Fresh Turkey and Chicken69 Cross Street, Island Pond, VT • 723-4590OpenOpenSun.Sun.-Wed.11 AM-10 PM,11amMon.-Wed.11to 10pm,AMThurs.-Sat.-11 PM, Thurs.-Sat.1111am-closingAM-close.Everything you need to completeyour outdoor adventure.Hunting, Fishing, Beach Toys, Hiking Gear,Tactical Gear and more.Vermont’s only 5.11 Tactical Full Line Dealer!10 CROSS STREET.

KINGDOM PROFILESBURKEBurke boasts beautiful Burke Mountain, and gets itssubtle fame for skiing and other winter activities. BurkeMountain is called an amonadnock mountain becauseof its resistance to erosion and because it stands alone,without any other tall mountains surrounding it. Themountain is approximately 3,000 feet above sea-level.Burke is located centrally between its mountain and lakesclose-by, Lake Willoughby and Crystal Lake. Charteredfirst in 1782, Burke was settled a decade later. Originally,southern Burke was the main import and export area,which received trade from the Lyndon area. SouthernBurke had a stagecoach stop, and a post office. However,with the railroad built in 1857, it transferred the hustleand bustle to other areas of Burke. In 1934, a CivilianConservation Corps group was formed to build a look-outtower at the top of Burke Mountain, which enabled andhelped to form Burke’s ski industry as it is today. Becauseof the town’s scenery, many area businesses have takenadvantage of not only the ski-area but also the fall foliageto attract tourists and buyers.

The town’s name was changed by the Vermontlegislature in 1825 from Navy to Charleston.

The first recorded settler, JosephBall, arrived in 1788 and fathered the first child bornin Concord in 1789. Concord is the birthplace of thenormal school tradition in the United States. TheColumbian School, America’s first normal school fortraining teachers, was opened in 1823 by the Rev.Samuel Read Hall. The library at nearby Lyndon StateCollege, itself founded as a normal school, is namedafter Hall. Concord was also home to John D. Chase,inventor of the first steel and iron circular saw andthe Chase water wheel. Chase established the Villageof West Concord in 1838. By the early 1840s, it boasteda dam and a sawmill. West Concord (now Concord)became the business center of the town. A newer village,North Concord, attracted a rail line and becamethe hub of a lumber boom in Essex County. Concord’spopulation peaked at 1,600 in 1880, and has been onthe decline since. Vermonter.com tells a story abouttrouble with bears during Concord’s early years. Abear caught in a trap was being shown to onlookerswhen it broke loose and tried to attack a child.

Also listed among the granteeswere five other Buels, including the Major’s son and IraAllen. The grant stated that the town was to lie betweenShoreham, Orwell, Hubbardton, Sudbury and Whitingin the southwestern part of the state. With Allen, thesurveyor general, involved in the grant, it seems hardto believe that the grantees really thought that the areahad space enough for another town; but that was whatthey said, and the legislature wrote the grant. Fouryears later, the major was back at the legislature, askingthat his grant be considered a “flying grant” so hecould go looking for ungranted lands against whichhis nearly worthless Coventry grant could be applied.He got permission, but by then it was not easy to finda 23,000-acre piece of good land anywhere in the state.Buel finally had to be content with getting three separatepieces in 1788. The largest was the present town ofCoventry, the second was Buels Gore, located half thestate away, and the third was Coventry Leg (or Gore),which was annexed to the town of Newport in 1816.Population: 1,086 Area: 27.94 sq. miles Elevation: 718Zip Code: 05825 Median Household Income: $42,5002011 Tax Info: Total Homestead Tax Rate $1.17/$100assessed valuation, Non-Residential Tax Rate $1.38/$100assessed valuation.Town Offices: 168 Main St., PO Box 104, Coventry.

KINGDOM PROFILESPhoto by Bradford TowneDANVILLEDanville was chartered on Oct. 31, 1786, as a partof Vermont Charter. According to Esther MunroeSwift’s Vermont Place-Names: Footprints of History,much mythology surrounds the naming of the townof Danville. One account has the town’s namesakebelonging to the son of St. Johnsbury founder JonathanArnold or numerous other French citizens of the time.The real honor belongs to the 18th century French cartographerJean Baptiste Bourguignon d’Anville. It wasMichel Guillaume St. Jean de Crevecouer (namesakeof St. Johnsbury) who suggested the name of the townto famous Revolutionary War Vermonter Ethan Allen.The two men exchanged correspondences with eachother on the naming of Vermont towns. One of thetown’s most famous citizens was U.S. CongressmanThaddeus Stevens, born on April 4, 1792 in Danville.Several tributaries flowing into the Passumpsic River,which itself is a tributary of the Connecticut River,lie within the town. On the western side of the town,dominated by the rolling hills of the Green Mountainsto the west, lies Joe’s Pond. The village to the east ofthe pond, has beautiful farming country surroundingit and pristine views of the White Mountains of NewHampshire to the east. Danville sits in the heart ofCaledonia County. The town is bordered to the northby Wheelock. To its east sits the county seat of St.Johnsbury. Lying to Danville’s south are the towns ofBarnet and Peacham and to its west are three towns;Cabot, Stannard and Walden.Population: 2,196 Area: 60.9 sq. mi., Elevation: 1,341Zip code: 05828 Median Household Income: $52,4682011 Tax Info: Total Homestead Tax Rate: $1.67/$100assessed valuation, Non-Residential Tax Rate: $1.90/$100assessed valuation.Town Offices: 36 Route 2 West, PO Box 183, Danville.Hours: Mon.-Fri. 8-4Town Clerk: Wendy Somers, 684-3352, Asst.

KINGDOM PROFILESDERBYDerby was chartered on Oct. 29, 1779. The Townconsists of 37,696 acres of land and incorporates thevillages of Derby Center, Derby Line and Beebe,Vermont. An authority on English place-names saysDerby originally meant “homestead frequented bywild animals.”Just south of Derby, Gatesborough hadbeen granted to Josiah Gates and associates, but thefees were never paid, so the town was sold and charteredas Salem. The Legislature eventually agreedwith a complaint that some 6,000 acres of Salem overlappedDerby, in addition to which, part of Salem wasunder the waters of Lake Memphremagog. Salem’sproprietors were refunded a portion of the purchaseprice, but the town never developed into a viableentity. Part of it was annexed to Newport in 1816(now part of Newport city); the remainder went toDerby in 1880, resulting in Derby’s unusual size andshape. There are several bodies of water located inthe town such as Lake Memphremagog, Derby Lakealso known as Derby Pond, Salem Lake, Big and LittleSalem, Clyde Pond and Brownington Pond. The ClydeRiver is Derby’s only river, extending from IslandPond to Newport running 25 miles long. Derby islocated on the Canadian Border with an opera housewhich has the U.S. and Canadian boundary line runningthrough it. Canusa Avenue is also located in theTown of Derby in which the yellow line in the middleof the road divides Canada and the U.S.A. thus howthe street acquired its name CANUSA Avenue.Population: 4,621 Area: 57.12 sq. milesElevation: 1,011 Zip Code: 058529Median Household Income: $43,1052011 Tax Info: Total Homestead Tax Rate: $1.53/$100assessed valuation, Non-Residential Tax Rate: $1.71/$100assessed valuation.Town Offices: PO Box 25, Derby, 124 Main St., DerbyCenter.

The town waschartered on Oct. 22, 1790 by Governor Chittendenbut none of the original people who received grantsfor the land ever settled there. Eventually the townwas divided up into 106 roughly equal lots by AndrewLockie. It is also possible that the town was namedafter Timothy Andrews who was originally from EastHaven, Connecticut. Andrews never settled in thetown, but eventually died there while he was visitinghis property. The Passumpsic River runs throughthe western part of the town while a land ridge runsthrough the center of the town. It is bordered on itseast side by the Moose River. Both the Passumpsic andthe Moose River boast impressive trout and the MooseRiver is especially well known for a variety of wildlifeincluding moose and deer. Even though the land inthe town of East Haven is fairly rough, it wasn’t roughenough to deter people from farming. East Haven isbordered by the towns of Ferdinand, Granby, Victory,Burke and Newark. East Haven Windfarm is located inthe town and is currently working on installing fourwind turbines on East Mountain. The wind turbinesare supposed to provide enough energy to power up to3,000 homes in the Northeast Kingdom.Population: 290 Area: 37.41 sq. mi.

It is generally thought that, in addition tothe Vermont town, the Granbys in both Massachusettsand Connecticut were named for him. This Granbygot off to a slow start, and after 1816, the year withouta summer, the population shrank so much that thetown gave up its incorporation. Reorganized and reincorporatedin 1822, it grew to just under 400 residentsin 1890, down to 52 in 1970. Though it was never morethan a few buildings grouped around some sawmills,the hamlet of Stevens Mills was a railroad stoppingpoint, and appeared on most maps throughout thefirst part of the 20th century. The name came from thesawmills operated by C.H. Stevens Company, whichhad its offices in St. Johnsbury.

He and his associates hadpetitioned for the town in March of 1780, and thefollowing November the Legislature made the grant,directing that the charter be issued under the nameof Coltkiln (sometimes rendered incorrectly as ColtHill, for example in Child’s Gazetteer). Meanwhile,between the granting and the chartering, one of theother grantees, Timothy Green and his son, TimothyJr., originally had come to Vermont from New London,Conn. In peacetime, the father was a printer by trade,a descendant of Samuel Green of Cambridge, Mass.,generally considered to have been the second printerin New England.

Scott would die in a later battledue to several gunshot wounds. Groton is also thesite of Groton State Forest which is host to severalcampgrounds. These campgrounds include RickerPond, Big Deer, Stillwater and New Discovery. Theforest also includes Kettle Pond, Osmore Pond andBoulder Beach.

There is only one otherplace in the world where the name is used, and that isLondon’s Guildhall, the equivalent of a New Englandtown hall, built in 1411, destroyed in the great fire of1666, rebuilt, and destroyed again in World War II.Perhaps as substantiation, perhaps not, Guildhall’s TownHall is conspicuously called the “Guild Hall.” Anotherpossibility is a play on the name of the principal granteeand four other family members of the same name: Hall.Many early records spell the name “Gilhall,” reflectingthe Vermonter’s tendency to soften or skip entirely the“d” sound in many words.Population: 261 Area: 32.98 sq. mi.

Thissmall historic town is located along the Lamoille River.Hardwick is rich in farmland and provides landownerswith many opportunities for commercial and industrialexpansion. This small town carries a lot of history, beginningwith the early days of saw and grist mills, carriagefactories, agriculture, and granite quarries. Granite quarryingin Hardwick began in 1868 and, since that time, hasserved as Hardwick’s industrial center. Hardwick wasonce known as the building granite capital of the world,and has remained the center of granite mining in Vermont.The town has provided granite to be used on some ofthe most prominent buildings in the United States andencouraged fine artisans to construct their pieces usinggranite rather than the soft marble that they were usedto. One of the most important pieces of Hardwick’s historywas the construction of the Bayley-Hazen MilitaryRoad, which took place at the request of Gen. GeorgeWashington during the American Revolutionary War.This road provided interior access to Vermont, andallowed settlers to reach Hardwick and East Hardwick.Hardwick’s first permanent settler, Mark Norris, arrived42 2012 KINGDOM GUIDE

KINGDOM PROFILESPhoto by Caroline EvansHOLLANDHolland was chartered Oct. 26, 1779. The most commonstory about the origin of Holland’s name is that thetown was named for Holland, Mass., which in turn wasnamed for Lord Holland, Charles James Fox (1749-1806),who won America’s love with his eloquent defenseof her rights in the years just before the outbreak ofthe Revolution. However Charles James Fox neverwas Baron Holland; the title went to his elder brother,Stephen. It’s more likely the Vermont Holland wasnamed for Samuel Holland, who was the King’s surveyorgeneral of all the colonies north of Virginia. In 1770,he conducted the official survey of New Hampshire andVermont. In 1775, Holland went to Canada and sinceHolland is on the Canadian border near where SamuelHolland lived and worked, it seems highly probablethat the town may have been named for him.

KINGDOM PROFILESIRASBURGIrasburg is one of three Vermont towns named for IraAllen, the brother of Ethan Allen and principal grantee(Ira in Rutland County and Alburgh in Grand IsleCounty being the others). Also named as grantees areGeneral Roger Enos, Sr., his wife, Jerusha, Sr., son Roger,Jr. and daughter Jerusha, Jr., who later became Allen’swife. This charter is one of the few places in Vermontwhere women are listed as grantees in their own right;unique also is the use of Sr. and Jr. to identify motherand daughter of the same name. Fairly soon after thecharter, Allen acquired all of the other grantees’ lands.Stories that Allen had filled up the required numberof grantees with false names and that he “bought”the claims from himself are simply not true; most ofthe names listed in the charter are people known tobe friends of either the Enos or Allen families or laterlisted in the 1790 census as living in other Vermonttowns. Ira and the younger Jerusha were married in1789. He wrote to his brother Levi: “I have married myfavorite Miss Enos and brought her home.” As a weddingpresent, he transferred title to all of Irasburg toher. In later years, Jerusha said that at the time Ira gaveher the town, she didn’t think it was “worth a rush.”Irasburg was caught up in Ira’s financial disaster andall of Jerusha’s land was sold at sheriff’s auction for backtaxes. Ira’s nephew and adopted son Heman bought theland and gave it back to Jerusha.Population: 1,163 Area: 40.77 sq. milesElevation: 814 Zip Code: 05845Median Household Income: $44,0102011 Tax Rate: Total Homestead Tax Rate $1.64/$100assessed valuation Non-Residential Tax Rate $1.99/$100assessed valuationTown Offices: 161 Route 58 East, PO Box 51, Irasburg.Hours: Mon.-Thur. 9-3.Town Clerk: Danielle Ingalls, 754-2242, irasburgtc@comcast.net Asst.

KINGDOM PROFILESJayThe town is unique in that it was established by twocharters. The earlier (Nov. 7, 1792), for 7,600 acres in thesouthern section to Gov. Thomas Chittenden in lieu ofback pay; the later (Dec. 28, 1792) to the distinguishedNew York statesman John Jay, in appreciation for hishelp in settling the Vermont-New York land dispute,thus opening the door for Vermont to become the fourteenthstate. The whole area had been granted in 1780 asWyllis (after the principal grantee), but never chartered.For one reason or another (possibly because the town ismostly on the side of a mountain), the fees were neverpaid. In 1783, the Republic, low on funds and owing thegovernor his salary, decided to pay Chittenden withthis land in what was then being called Carthage. IraAllen would have to survey it, but with no money topay him or his crew to do the work, Vermont told Allenhe could have the rest of the land. Having had no successat selling the land, Allen paid his men out of hisown pocket and asked for a meeting of the governorand council to resolve the matter. Without a quorumpresent, Chittenden gave Allen the charter for anotherforfeited town which had been called Woodbridge (nowpart of Westfield). Political opponents of Chittenden andAllen called it chicanery, leading to Chittenden’s defeatin the 1789 election. It was determined the followingyear that Chittenden had done nothing wrong, on topof which Vermont still owed Allen and Chittenden aconsiderable sum. Wyllis/Carthage/Jay had gotten off toa rocky start, and it never really overcame the handicap.It was 1810 before the census recorded any population,1836 before there was a post office, which closed in1905. The southwestern corner of the town is comprisedof Jay Peak State Forest. Vermont’s northernmost skiresort, Jay Peak, is the principal activity in the town.

KINGDOM PROFILESKIRBYKirby is bordered by Burke, Victory, Concord, St.Johnsbury and Lyndon and is known for being a farmingcommunity without a trading center or village. Theland that Kirby covers is unique because it is actuallyshaped like an arrowhead. Originally, the town waspart of Burke and Hopkinsville, which was charteredby the Vermont Legislature to Dr. Roswell Hopkins.Hopkins served as the clerk and governor of the councilwithout being paid. Burke consisted of more land thanmost of the Vermont towns and contained the oddlyshaped piece of land that would eventually becamethe town of Kirby. The first resident of Kirby was Maj.Benjamin Whitcomb who was noted for being a hunterand trapper. Kirby was officially recognized as a townon Oct. 28, 1907. The origin of Kirby’s name is uncertain.It is believed that the name came from a surname or isnamed after numerous places in England. The surnamepossibly comes from different Kirbys who fought in theRevolutionary War. It is also believed that the namemay have been due to petitions that Seth and JohnKirby submitted to the Vermont legislature. In England,the name Kirby means a town that has a church. Today,the town of Kirby is home to two small ponds, Johnsonand Kirby Pond, as well as Kirby Mountain which isnearly 3,000 feet in elevation. Kirby boasts two festivals,one in the fall and one during the Christmas season,that provide opportunities for community members togather together and to showcase local wares to tourists.Kirby is home to former White House policy advisor forthe Reagan administration, John McClaughry, who alsoserved as the town moderator.Population: 493 Area: 24.41 sq. mi.

The town was one of four grants totalingmore than 69,000 acres given to Kelly in restitution foran equal amount of land he had held under New YorkPatents, which had been invalidated by the 1790 settlementbetween New York and Vermont. In 1825, another ofKelly’s grants (a 6,000-acre tract just east of Kellyvale) wasadded to the town, making it considerably larger thanits neighbors. In 1831 the name was changed to Lowell.John Lowell Sr., a distinguished Massachusetts jurist,had represented the Commonwealth in the ContinentalCongress for many years. He was a member of the commissionthat had settled the Vermont-Massachusettsboundary dispute in Vermont’s favor. In 1781, Lowell andsome associates had petitioned Vermont for a grant in thearea of present-day Morgan and Charleston. There is norecord of any action taken, but it is hard to believe thatthe state would have entirely overlooked his efforts on itsbehalf. John Lowell Jr. was also a prominent lawyer anda keen historian, with a reputation as a Federalist writer.His pamphlet entitled Mr. Madison’s War, criticizing theWar of 1812, would have endeared him to Vermonters,with whom the war was extremely unpopular.Population: 879 Area: 56.38 sq. mi.Elevation: 996 ft.

Lyndon is known as the “CoveredBridge Capital of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom.”According to Esther Munroe Swift’s Vermont Place-Names: Footprints of History, Dr. Johnathan Arnold and53 other people founded the town. Dr. Arnold namedthe town for his oldest son, Josiah Lyndon Arnold.Josiah graduated from Dartmouth and studied law atProvidence. He was a teacher at Brown University untilhe returned to Lyndon at the time of his father’s deathin 1792. Josiah died four years later. Josiah was the firstauthor of poetry published by a Vermonter, with hisworks published after his death. The post office originallyspelled the name Lindon, and the mistake wasnot corrected for years. The town is home to LyndonState College, a four-year liberal arts school that wasfounded in 1911, originally to train teachers. The collegenow offers more than 25 majors and minors. LyndonInstitute also makes its home in the village of LyndonCenter.

It is notknown why Benning Wentworth named the townMaidstone; however, Maidstone, Kent, England, is in anarea where many Connecticut settlers had their origins,so perhaps the name had some particular significancefor the grantees. Despite Hamilton Child’s enthusiasticcomment in his 1887 Gazetter that “probably no town inthe state has more valuable bottom lands [for farming]than Maidstone,” the town never attracted many residents.Its top population was reached with just under300 at the time of the Civil War, and the number hasdeclined ever since.

KINGDOM PROFILESPhoto by Mim LeblancNEWPORT TOWNNewport Town was formed on Oct. 26, 1781, andchartered under the name of Duncansboro, to GeorgeDuncan, Nathan Fisk, and 63 others on Oct. 30, 1802.The name was altered from Duncansboro to Newport,Oct. 30, 1816. The first clearing, which began whereNewport Center now is, was made by H. & A. Adamsand D. & S. Meacham. Here they constructed a damand put up a waterwheel saw-mill on mud creek. AmosSawyer, a carpenter by trade, built a home nearby.Two other settlements were established in the town:South Newport and Pickeral Point, later renamed toLake Bridge, named for its location at the head of LakeMemphremagog. By the late 1800s, the Boston andMaine and Central Vermont railroads were routedthrough Lake Bridge and the small village experienceda population boom. In 1868, the Lake Bridge settlementwas incorporated as the “Village of Newport.” Themain town village, Newport Center, was also incorporatedin 1908. In 1917, the Village of Newport separatedfrom the Town of Newport and merged with the Villageof West Derby (in the town of Derby) to form the Cityof Newport. In 1931, by special acts of the GeneralAssembly, the Village of Newport Center consolidatedwith the Town of Newport, with its former responsibilitiesautomatically assumed by the town.Population: 1,594 Area: 43.5 sq. mi.

The town seems to have garneredits name either from a town in England, which is verysimilar to how other Vermont towns in the NortheastKingdom acquired their names. However, it is alsobelieved that the town’s name originated from a colonyin Massachusetts, the town of Sheffield in BerkshireCounty. This latter explanation seems to be more likelyas the town of Sheffield in Mass. is just a short distancefrom Salisbury, Conn., which was home to many of theoriginal settlers of Sheffield. The towns that surroundSheffield include, Glover, Greensboro, Barton, Suttonand Wheelock. Malcolm Goldstein was a notable residentfrom Sheffield.

Arnold left Rhode Island in1787 and, with six other families, built homes at whatis now the center of town. According to local lore,Vermont founder Ethan Allen himself proposed namingthe town St. John in honor of his friend Jean deCrevecoeur, a French-born author and a friend ofBenjamin Franklin. St. Johnsbury became a small scalemanufacturing center, with the main products beingplatform scales — the platform scale was invented inSt. Johnsbury by Thaddeus Fairbanks in 1830 — maplesyrup and other related products.

KINGDOM PROFILESSTANNARDStannard was chartered on Aug. 19, 1867, havingpreviously been known as Goshen Gore Number 1.According to Esther Munroe Swift’s Vermont Place-Names: Footprints of History, the town of GoshenGore Number 1 was renamed by the Vermont GeneralAssembly in honor of the American Civil War HeroGeneral George Stannard following calls to do so byresidents. Born in Georgia, Vt., Stannard moved to SaintAlbans where he was called into battle in 1861 alongwith the rest of the Vermont Regiment. He was a 41year-old lieutenant colonel and was promoted rapidlyto a regimental command, which he held at Gettysburg.Vermont legislative journals show that in 1865 the statecommended General Stannard for his “skill and bravery.”Heeding the pleas of its residents, the legislaturedecided to give what had been known as Goshen GoreNumber 1 independent status as a town named in thegeneral’s honor. Stannard is the only town in the stateto have derived its name from the Civil War.Population: 216 Area: 12.5 sq. mi.Elevation: 1,700 Zip Code: 05842Median Household Income: $36,8752011 Tax Info: Total Homestead Tax Rate: $1.32/$100assessed valuation, Non-Residential Tax Rate: $1.33/$100assessed valuation.Town Offices: PO Box 94, Stannard Mtn.

KINGDOM PROFILESOne problem that occurred while trying to changethe name was while the legislature was approving thename, the Billymead post office was opened. The nameof the post office didn’t change until around 1817. TheSutton resident who came up with the new name wasJoctan Putnam who was originally from Sutton, Mass.SUTTONPhoto by Mary WhitcombSutton has a sordid history as it’s first name (Billymead)was derived from the son of Dr. Jonathan Arnold ofRhode Island. Unfortunately Arnold’s son, William,later became a terrible drunk who disrupted the townand people as they tried to go about their business. Itis largely believed that William’s father intended thename of mead to stand for meadow. However, anotherpossible source for the name was mead, which was afermented beverage flavored with honey. In 1810, thetownspeople became so disenchanted with Williamand their town name that they voted to change it toSutton. The people were so eager to use the new namethat they started using it before the Vermont legislatureapproved it. The approval of the new name didn’t comeuntil two years after the people of Sutton changed it.Population: 1,029 Area: 38.26 sq. mi.Elevation: 1,152 Zip Code: 05867Median Household Income: $43,5002011 Tax Info: Total Homestead Tax Rate $1.59/$100assessed valuation Non Residential Tax Rate $1.68/$100assessed valuation.Town Offices: 167 Underpass Road, PO Box 106.

According to Esther MunroeSwift’s Vermont Place-Names: Footprints of History,in its charter the original name of the town was to beLittleton, but was changed to Waterford instead afterNew Hampshire named a town Littleton. Two storiesexist about the name Waterford. The first being thatat the town’s location on the Connecticut River a fordexisted for people to get back and forth across thewater. The second story relates to the Irish settlers inthe area wanting it named after Waterford, MunsterProvince, in Ireland, where the Irish successfully heldoff an English invasion, a source of much pride. Sincethe Moore Dam was built in 1957, two villages haveexisted. The original village was known as Waterford(now Upper Waterford). It sits above the dam and thesecond one, known as Lower Waterford, sits belowthe dam and is now the center of town. The northernborder of Waterford is tended by the Moose Riverwhich, after completing its course, empties into theConnecticut River. The Connecticut, having traveledin a southern direction from Canada, bends westwardto form the southern border of Waterford before turningsouth again. Waterford sits at the eastern edge ofCaledonia County. The town is bordered to the northby the county seat of St. Johnsbury. To its east sits thetown of Concord, in Essex County. Lying to Waterford’ssouth is the Connecticut River and the state of NewHampshire and to its west is the town of Barnet.welcome to WaldenThe Northeast Kingdom’sNewest Magazine!Winter 2012 issue deadline:May 1Visit www.livinghealthyvt.comfor advertising rates and distributiondetails.802.684.1056, info@livinghealthyvt.comVisit a real Vermont sugarhouse.

There is no plausible explanation as to whythe duplicate name was used in the first place, nor whyit took six years for the error to be corrected by changingthe name to Westmore. Not that Westmore is uniqueeither; in addition to the original Westford and the nowWestmore, there are seven other towns with West in theirnames, not to mention an assortment of villages withinvarious towns (e.g., Westminster West, which rightfullywould be West Westminster, but you get the picture).Hilly, even mountainous, Westmore attracted few settlers.Its big census year was 1880 with 485 residents.

For townswithout schools at grades 7-12 (which aren’tmembers of a public school supervisoryunion), school boards pay tuition to publicor approved independent schools that parentschoose, within or outside Vermont, notincluding religious schools. Supervisoryunions are an administrative, planning,and educational service unit created by thestate, which consists of two or more schooldistricts.Title 16, Sec. 1093 allows local school boardsto receive students from other communitiesinto their schools on terms and conditions theydecide - usually meaning tuition.Title 16, Sec. 821(c) allows parents to requestthat local school districts pay tuition for theirchildren to attend an elementary school inanother town, if the family resides near theother town’s school — and if the school boarddecides that the student’s education can bemore conveniently provided there.Title 16, Sec. 821(d) allows the voters in aschool district that does not maintain anelementary school to authorize the schoolboard to pay tuition for elementary students atapproved independent nonresidential schools(but not at religious schools) at the request ofa parent or guardian, if in the board’s judgmentthe student’s educational interests can be betterserved there.

KINGDOM ALMANACState ForestsGroton State ForestTucked away in central Vermont, the 25,000-acre Groton State Forestis the second largest protected area in the state. Within its boundariesare six state parks and year round recreation. Despite being nestledbetween US Interstates 89 and 91 and containing a number of roadsand trails, the park maintains a wild atmosphere of the northeastonce lost, and now returning. Massive mammals, like black bear andmoose, call the park home. Mink, beaver and otters live in and arounda number of lakes, rivers, creeks, bogs and kettle ponds. Today, StateHighway 232 (also called the Groton Forest Highway) snakes its waynorth/south through the heart of the state forest. Visitors to thestate forest will find that recreational opportunities and facilitiesrival national parks of similar size. The state forest is serviced by avast network of hiking and multi-purpose trails for mountain biking,horseback riding, and off road use. In the wintertime the network oftrails that surround the Groton Nature Center, located on the shoreof Lake Groton, are used for snowshoeing and cross country skiing.Hiking east of the Groton Nature Center, forest visitors can explorethe 700-acre Peacham Bog, one of the largest bogs in Vermont (bealert for poison sumac). Many visitors also take the hike up to thetop of Owlshead Mountain (not to be confused with Owl’s HeadMountain in southern Vermont near the Massachusetts border). Thepeak of Owlshead is due east of the Kettle Pond Campground. Visitorscan almost drive to the summit on a multi-use road (check conditions)and take an easy 1/10 of a mile trek to the summit. If you want alittle bit more of a challenge, consider hiking from the New DiscoveryCampground, about a two-mile one-way trek up the gently slopingside of the mountain. The view is tremendous and well worth thedrive or the foot work to get there. For more information on GrotonState Forest, contact Big Deer State Park, 303 Boulder Beach Road,Groton, VT, 05046. In the summer call 584-3822 and during the winter,479-4280. For more information, visit www.outdoorplaces.com.Victory State ForestVictory State Forest offers 15,826 acres for canoeing, kayaking,fishing, hiking, hunting and limited camping. Wildlife viewing is terrificin this region of the state. The Victory Basin and the WildlifeManagement Area offer an opportunity to view moose, black bear,white-tailed deer, river otter, red fox and much more. The forestis located in the northeastern area of Vermont near St. Johnsburyand Lyndonville and offers visitors the opportunity to view BurkeMountain, elevation 3,267 feet, and Umpire Mountain, 3,020 feet.Darling State Park is located within the Forest offering camping, hiking,hunting and picnicking amongst a forest of spruce and fir. TheVictory Basin offers views of a remote northern ecosystem created byglaciers. Picturesque mountains surround the low-lying swampland.Snowmobiling and mountain biking are extremely popular forms ofrecreation within this state forest.

Phone, 241-3670. parks@fpr.anr.state.VTus.Brighton State ParkBrighton State Park lies in the heart of Vermont’s northeastern highlands.A deep evergreen forest blankets much of the surrounding hills.Ponds and lakes are nestled in the wide valleys. This is the wildestand most isolated area in Vermont, rich in legends of Indians and loggers,railroads and rum-runners. According to local lore, Five IroquoisNations and the St. Francis Abenakis camped here and used IndianPoint as a meeting ground. The surrounding forest is the result ofcenturies of change. It is vastly different from the forest encounteredby the first European settlers. Logging, agriculture and developmentcontinue to shape the forest. Despite, or perhaps because of humaninfluence, the forest to the west of Spectacle Pond has been transformedinto a unique collection of plants and animals. The mature redpine stand and its understory of boreal plants is a unique natural communitythat has hosted nesting ravens. The 15-acre site is a state designatednatural area. Along this trail, you will be able to explore someof the nature and history of Brighton and the Northeast Kingdom. 102State Park Road, Island Pond, VT, 05846. Phone, 723-4360.Maidstone State ParkMaidstone is the most remote of Vermont’s state parks and still retainsmuch of the wilderness character associated with the NortheastKingdom. Maidstone Lake was created when glacial ice carved outa deep basin in a pre-existing valley. When the last glaciers melted12,000 years ago, a deep, clear, cold lake was formed. The lake offersgood lake trout and salmon fishing and has had some outstandingrecord catches. Maidstone Lake is one of the lakes in Vermont whereloons have reared their young in recent years. Loons love the solitudeof the northern lakes where shores are rimmed with spruce-fir shade.Once common in Vermont, the loon has recently been removedfrom the endangered species list, but remains a species of concern.Maidstone was designated by the state of Vermont as a state park in1938. The camp areas were wilderness, but the area around the lodgewas a Civilian Conservation Corps camp. The CCC built many sites withfireplaces for camping, which are still in use today. The campgroundhas 44 tent/trailer sites and 37 lean-tos. Three of the four rest roomsinclude hot showers. A sanitary dump station is available, but nohookups. There are play areas, hiking trails, and swimming beaches inthe campground. A picnic shelter, swimming beach, and an additionalrest room are available at the day use area. Surrounding the park areacres of forest lands that offer miles of logging roads for mountainbiking or just walking. R1, Box 388, Guildhall, VT, 05905. Phone, 676-3930.Crystal Lake State ParkIn 1759, during the French and Indian War, Roger’s Rangers werechased into the Crystal Lake-Barton area, according to the historybooks. It is believed that Robert Roger was familiar with this area atthe age of 15 and that he participated in and helped lead the raid onSt. Francis in Canada. At one time, there was a granite quarry on theeast side of Crystal Lake. Near the turn of the century, steamboatsbarged stones across the lake. The park’s beach house was made ofgranite quarried beside the lake. It was constructed in the late thirtiesby the CCC. It has a very unusual architectural design and receivedprominent recognition the year it was built. Crystal Lake is approximatelythree miles long and about one mile in width. In some placesit is known to be more than 100 feet deep. It is a glacial lake beautifullysituated among rough hewn mountain sides. The beach area hasalmost a mile of sandy shoreline with a marked swimming area. Thelarge historic granite bathhouse has rest rooms, changing areas, and aconcession stand. There are approximately 40 free standing charcoalgrills, nearly 80 picnic tables, play areas, rental boats and canoes, andlots of parking space. 96 Bellwater Ave., Barton, VT, 05822. Phone,525-6205.New Discovery State ParkAs early as 1704, Native Americans and the French were using routesthrough Groton to reach Canada and Massachusetts. Colonistssettled this area of Vermont slightly earlier than the rest of the statethrough the accessible network of waterways. The rocky, tree coveredhillsides were originally cloaked with white pine, spruce, hemlock,beech, maple and birch. These were logged by local farmersfor lumber, fuel and potash. The logging industry was large-scale foralmost 100 years while the railroad was operating. Today, logging isstill a vital industry in the area, but has lost some of its dominance infavor of modern society’s leisure time movement with its private cottages/seasonalhomes and a variety of outdoor recreation activities.4239 Route 232, Marshfield, VT, 05658.
