More on Brattleboro
Brattleboro is at the confluence of the West River with the Connecticut River. The area was known as Wantastiquet in the indigenous Abenaki language. The Abenaki fiercely defended their land against European settlement in the 17th and 18th century. As they were allied to the French, that gave the British to oust them, driving them north into Quebec.The town dates back to a blockhouse and stockade erected in 1723, specifically to prevent the Abenaki from counterattacking the area. The stockade was later in 1728 converted into a trading post, and trading was conducted with friendly Indians.
Brattleboro was originally named Brattleborough, in honor of Colonel William Brattle. It is part of the land grant chartered by Governor Benning Wentworth in 1753. The town prospered as a mill town. It produced wool, timber, flour and paper, among others. Today it remains a semi-rural part of the United States.
