*Area, Population and Density rankings refer to Salisbury’s relative position among Vermont’s 255 civic entities (9 cities, 242 towns, 4 gores and grants). Complete rankings are here.

Most of the grantees were from Salisbury, Connecticut, and while the town of origin sometimes had something to do with the naming of the new town, it is more than coincidence that when Benning Wentworth executed the grant, James Cecil was the sixth Earl of Salisbury. Cecil was noted more as a horseman than for anything else, but Wentworth simply could not pass up the opportunity to flatter a nobleman.

Few of the grantees actually settled in the town, instead selling their rights to friends and neighbors, the best known of which were the Storys.

Utilities

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).
