Otter Creek (Vermont) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Otter Creek (Vermont)
Otter Creek is one of the major streams located in the state of Vermont. Roughly in length, it is the primary stream running through Rutland County and Addison County. It is one of the largest rivers in the state. ==History== Otter Creek (or "Kill") was known to the French as "La Rivière aux Loutres", whence the English name. On April 1, 1690, Capt. Abraham Schuyler was commissioned by the city of Albany to take a party up the Otter Creek about and there to keep watch and engage any Native Americans. This would correspond today to the City of Vergennes. In 1731, the French began construction of a fort at Crown Point to be known as Fort Frederic. Before construction began, they founded a new settlement called Addison. Vergennes, situated on the first falls, upstream from the outlet of Otter Creek, was chartered in 1778 only four years after New Haven and Hartford, Connecticut, and thus was the third incorporated city in New England.
