==History==
Greensboro was chartered in 1781. The town was named for Timothy Green, one of the original charter recipients and an original landowner under the charter. However, there is no evidence that he ever visited the town, and his land was sold for non-payment of taxes a few decades after he received it.〔Peter D. Watson, Wilhelmina Smith, Lewis Hill, Nancy Hill, Sally Fisher, Patricia Haslam, Rhoda Metraux, Dorothy Ling, and Gail Sangree, ''The History of Greensboro: The First Two Hundred Years''. Greensboro Historical Society, 1990. Pp. 13-14.〕:13-14 Only three of the original proprietors settled in the town; most likely, the others were land speculators who sold their land to others or let it be sold at tax sales when buyers could not be found.〔:18
The Bayley Hazen Military Road, built before the town was chartered, allowed its development. The road passed to the west of Caspian Lake, and a wooden blockhouse was constructed there in 1779〔:21-22〔Federal Writers Project, ''Vermont: A Guide to the Green Mountain State''. Vermont State Planning Board/Works Progress Administration, 1937. P. 242.〕 on what is now known as Block House Hill〔:frontispiece. In 1781, the blockhouse's party of four was attacked by Abenaki; two were killed and two were captured.〔〔:22-23 A second road was built by Timothy Hinman between 1791 and 1793. This road, which came to be known as the Hinman Settler Road, branched off from the Bayley-Hazen in Greensboro and continued to Derby. These two roads were of major importance to the settlement of northern Vermont.〔:23
The Highland Lodge opened in 1954. It had a hotel and restaurant that was open year-round. It had a beach on Caspian Lake with sailboats, kayaks, and canoes; a children's play programs and nature programs in the summer and nature hikes and cross-country ski trails in the winter. Special events included wedding, business retreats, music programs, workshops, and talks. It closed once in 2011 but is now open for room and cottage rentals only. The Highland Lodge and property are also for sale.〔() The Highland Lodge〕
