Nobody is quite sure what Wentworth had in mind with this name. There is only one other place in the world where it is used, and that is London’s Guildhall, the equivalent of a New England town hall: built in 1411, destroyed in the great fire of 1666, rebuilt, and destroyed again in World War II. Perhaps as substantiation, perhaps not, Guildhall’s Town Hall is conspicuously called The “Guild Hall.”

Another possibility is a play on the name of the principal grantee and four other family members of the same name: Hall.

Many early records spell the name “Gilhall”, reflecting the Vermonter’s tendency to soften of skip entirely the “d” sound in many words.

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).
