About Middlebury, Vermont [Top] Addison County Chartered: November 2, 1761 (New Hampshire Grant) Area: 25,403 Acres = 39.69 Square Miles [ Size Rank: 126* ] Coordinates (Geographic Center): N 44° 01' W 73°10' Altitude: 370 feet ASL Population (US Census, 2010): 8,496 [ Population Rank: 12* ] Population Density (persons per square mile): 214.1 [ Density Rank: 18* ] Full Census Info: Town  County  State *Area, Population and Density rankings refer to Middlebury's relative position among Vermont's 255 civic entities (9 cities, 242 towns, 4 gores and grants). Complete rankings are here. John Evarts of Salisbury, Connecticut, representing a group of investors, had sought to acquire two parcels of land. When the grant had been completed and land examined, it was found that there was actually enough land for three towns in those two parcels. The northernmost was named New Haven, for what was then capital of Connecticut and home of one of the investors. The southernmost was named Salisbury for Evarts' home town. The one in the middle was named . . . Middlebury College was founded in 1800 by Timothy Dwight, then President of Yale and son of the first white child known to have been born on Vermont soil. Its original purpose was to train young men from Vermont and neighboring states for the ministry and other learned professions of the early 19th century. In 1883, it became one of the first formerly all-male schools in New England to admit women. Middlebury enjoyed boom times when local marble quarries were active, activity which eventually fell victim to more modern quarrying techniques.The historic "Marble Works" is now a thriving restored shopping and business district. Its central location in the Champlain Valley, the presence of Middlebury College and the historic shopping district with its shops, boutiques and eateries makes Middlebury an attractive place to linger for a while.

Utilities [Top] 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).
