This article shows U.S. Census totals for Essex County, Vermont, broken down by municipality, from 1900 to 2000. Most areas of New England are entirely divided into incorporated municipalities, with no unincorporated territory. In the three northern New England states, however, some unincorporated territory does exist, generally in areas that are very sparsely populated. Essex County contains the bulk of Vermont’s unincorporated territory, although Bennington, Chittenden and Windham counties also include smaller amounts. The unincorporated territory in Essex County consists of 6 distinct entities, covering about 160 square miles (approximately 25% of the county’s land area). Three are townships (essentially, areas that were drawn up as “future towns” in the 18th century, but never attained a large enough permanent population to formally incorporate as towns). Two of the others are gores, one a grant (tracts of land, typically smaller than a town, which were not included in any town when town boundaries were being drawn up in the 18th and 19th centuries). Most of the unincorporated territory in Essex County is in the interior northern part of the county. The remainder of the county is incorporated. Due to the large extent of unorganized territory in Essex County, a separate section with detailed historical census totals for such areas follows the main tables below. In most of the last several censuses prior to 2000, the population of the unorganized territory had typically been about 30 residents. In 2000, it increased to 51. There are three types of incorporated municipalities in Vermont: towns, cities and villages. As in the other New England states, towns are the basic unit of municipal government. Cities are independent of and equivalent to towns, but differ in their form of government. Villages overlay towns and assume responsibility for some municipal services within their boundaries. Incorporated villages are not found in any of the other New England states, and are less common in Vermont today than they have been in the past. A number of villages have disincorporated over the years, choosing to revert to full town control; most of those that remain are very small. The main tables below show municipalities at the town level. The tables in the New England Historical U.S. Census Totals series differentiate between towns and cities; however, there have never been any cities in Essex County. For any census, adding up the totals for each town-level municipality and unincorporated entity should yield the county total. A separate section follows with population totals for villages from 1930 to 2000. For more information on the New England municipal system, see New England town. ==Corporate changes since 1900== There have been no changes in Essex County’s town-level municipality roster since 1900. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Historical U.S. Census totals for Essex County, Vermont」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
