History of Charlotte, Vermont, USA

Charlotte, Vermont
This is a pleasant town, in Chittenden county, on lake Champlain, and opposite to Essex, N.Y. In Essex, about 3 miles across the lake, is Split Rock, a great natural curiosity. Charlotte lies 49 miles W. of Montpelier, 11 S. of Burlington, and 21 N.W. of Middlebury. A great part of this town gradually slopes toward the lake, and is very productive. Its trade is chiefly with Canada. From the principal village, "The Four Corners," the lake, and the mountains that skirt its borders, present a very romantic appearance. Population, in 1830, 1,702.

CHITTENDEN Co. This township is pleasantly situated on the lake shore, and is watered by the river Laplott, which runs through the north-east corner, and Lewis Creek, which runs through the southern corner. The western part of the town was originally timbered with hard wood, and the soil is excellent, producing in abundance. The eastern part was principally timbered with pine, hemlock, &c. There are no elevations which deserve the names of mountains, but a range of considerable hills running through the centre of the town from north to south. From many parts of this ridge the scenery to the west is peculiarly picturesque. The lake with its islands, maybe seen at a great distance. Add to this the extensive range of lofty mountains with, their broken summits which lie beyond it, and it is believed that, particularly at some seasons of the year, the beauty and sublimity of the prospect is not excelled by any part of our country.
