History

It is situated along the Connecticut River, at the mouth of the West River (Vermont) River.

To defend Province of Massachusetts Bay during the French and Indian Wars, the Massachusetts General Court Court voted on December 27, 1723 to build a blockhouse and stockade at what would become Brattleboro. With hostilities ceased, Brattleborough developed quickly, and soon was second to none in the state for business and wealth. Settlement was tentative until after the 1763 Treaty of Paris (1763) of Paris, when France abandoned New France. Massachusetts kept a small body of troops at the fort until 1750, after which it was considered unnecessary. The population was 12,005 at the United States Census, 2000 census.
