About Pittsford, Vermont 
Rutland County
*Area, Population and Density rankings refer to Pittsford's relative position among Vermont's 255 civic entities (9 cities, 242 towns, 4 gores and grants). Complete rankings are here.
Like many cities and towns in the US, this one was named for William Pitt ("the Great Commoner"). Benning Wentworth also named Chatham, New Hampshire in his honor when he was created Earl of Chatham in 1766.
Pitt is generally considered to have been one of the best friends the colonies ever had. Perhaps because he came from a small town himself, he seemed to understand the needs and hopes of the colonist as no one else did. Once, speaking about British taxes imposed on the Colonies, he said that if he lived there he would not pay them. King George II twice dismissed Pitt from office because of his stand on the Colonies, and twice recalled him under the weight of public opinion. After his recall in 1757, Pitt virtually became Prime Minister, with full control of foreign and military affairs. It was he who planned the expeditions and selected the commanders Wolfe and Amherst who, with British and colonial forces, drove the French from Canada and indirectly set the stage for the Revolution.
