Esther Swift's immensely popular history of every conceivable place name in Vermont has served well an entire generation of researchers. Not only is the history of each place name given, Mrs. Swift gives you a capsule history of the town, village or settlement involved.
Mrs. Swift demonstrates a clear and incisive grasp of the geography and history of Vermont; the infringing New Hampshire and New York patents are covered in separate appendices; and in sum this book is well researched, well written, and well received. Another must have tool for Vermont.

A great source of Vermont place names and their history from the perspective of post office records. Anyone who lives (or did live) in Vermont would enjoy reading the entries assembled in alphabetical order.
