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.

This is a basic geographic reference, intended to show relative location of adjacent towns. Directional accuracy is limited to 16 compass points. There isn't even the slightest suggestion that one can necessarily travel directly from one town to the next (as in "You can't get there from here").
