*Area, Population and Density rankings above refer to Hartland's relative position among Vermont's 255 civic entities (9 cities, 242 towns, 4 gores and grants). Complete rankings are here.
Originally named Hertford; a confirming Patent was issued by New York in 1766 under the same name. It wasn't until 1782 that the Vermont Legislature changed the named to Hartland, because, as it was noted, Hertford and Hartford being adjoining, it was "difficult for strangers to distinguish which of said towns might be meant . . . and many other inconveniences do attend the having two towns so near of one name in the state." Did that fix the problem? Not quite. Many still find the similarity of names confusing. Nor was it the only names confusion in town. When it wasn't being called Sumner (after a prominent resident) Hartland Village has often been referred to as Hartland Three Corners, to distinquish it from Hartland Four Corners. Hartland Four Corners, in turn, for a time was known by the postal and railroad name of Evarts, after a prominent local family.
