In the northwest corner of the state of Vermont, bounded by the Green Mountains to the east and Lake Champlain to the west, lies the town of Georgia. This book is the history of this town from the formation of its geologic features until yesterday. The author traces how both the Green Mountains and Lake Champlain formed providing the geography that shaped Georgia' history. We see the arrival of the first nomadic settlers at the end of the last Ice Age. For most of human history, the land that the town sits on, is contested first between the Abenaki and the Iroquois, then the French and the English, then the English and the Americans, and finally between the colonies of New Hampshire and New York. The Allen brothers of Green Mountain Boys fame saw the value of the land and were the first proprietors of Georgia. Being land speculators, they saw the agricultural, timber, waterpower, mineral, and transportation advantages the town offered. The book looks at the first settlers in the town, mainly subsistence farmers. With the start of the nineteenth century, the town saw its first schools, roads, churches, and industry. Georgia was an onlooker of all the conflicts of the next century from the War of 1812 through the Civil War. The town adapted as the town underwent transition to sheep farming, the coming of the railroad, and then dairy farming. Gradually the town became connected to the rest of the world with the coming of electricity, the telephone, and roads. Its last connection, the coming of the interstate introduced the final change of the town. It developed into a bedroom community for the city of Burlington and saw industrial development. Today, Georgia is a microcosm of the whole state of Vermont. It is a town of dairy farms and suburban housing, industry and recreation, scenic beauty and tiny hamlets. The author, an admitted newcomer to the town, shows his love for Georgia with his unique writing style and many photographs.
