*Area, Population and Density rankings refer to Danby’s relative position among Vermont’s 255 civic entities (9 cities, 242 towns, 4 gores and grants). Complete rankings are here.

Grantees were from Nine Partners (now Amenia), New York.

Two possibilities exist for the name, each honoring different men: Thomas Osborne, Earl of Danby and Leeds, or Basil Fielding Earl of Denbigh. The second possibility is dependent on 18th century spelling being more phonetic than precise. Denbigh would have been pronounced “Denby” or “Danby”.

Utilities

Notes about utilities:

  • One electric or phone company indicates that company serves the entire town. More than one of either indicates each serves different areas of town.
  • A listed cable company MIGHT mean the entire town is covered, but not necessarily. More than one listed indicates each serves different areas of town.
  • Unless your area is one served by Vermont’s only gas utility, your only option is bottled gas (any dealer).
