"The
soil of North Hero is of an excellent quality, and produces grains of all
kinds in abundance. It has no streams of any consequence, and no
mills or mill privileges . . . This is the shire town of Grand Isle County.
The settlement of this township was commenced in 1783, by Enos and Solomon
Wood, the former from Bennington, in this State, and the latter from Norwich,
Ct. The British erected a block house here, at a place called Dutchman's
Point, which was garrisoned, and not given up till 1796. The town
was organized in 1789."
