Washington County
*Area, Population and Density rankings above refer to Northfield's relative position among Vermont's 255 civic entities (9 cities, 242 towns, 4 gores and grants). Complete rankings are here.
Probably named for Northfield, Massachusetts, many of the proprietors having come from that area. That town, in turn, was so named because it was the northernmost town in the colony when it was created. The Dog River almost exactly bisects the town on its way to the join the Winooski. It is said to be so named because a hunter set a trap for a bear and caught his own dog instead.
