==Castleton==
Castleton was chartered in 1761. The charter for of land was granted by Gov. Benning Wentworth of New Hampshire and divided the land into 70 "rights" or "shares". Three families had settled in Castleton by 1770. More settlers followed and by 1777 the town consisted of 17 families. Vermont attained statehood in 1791 and Castleton continued to grow as an agricultural community. Farmers raised cattle, then turned for a while to sheep. Apple orchards abounded. Saw mills and gristmills were the first industries to be established in town. During the middle of the nineteenth century the slate and marble industries began to thrive in and around Castleton. The railroad came in 1854, and the last half of the century saw the development of tourism around Lake Bomoseen.〔http://www.bsi-vt.com/castleton/chs/index.html〕 For more see Castleton, Vermont
