Woodstock, Vermont is the county seat of Windsor County with a population of just
over 3,000 – including the villages of Woodstock, South Woodstock, Taftsville,
and West Woodstock. It was named after Woodstock in Oxfordshire, England, as a
homage to both Blenheim Palace and its owner, George Spencer, 4th Duke of
Marlborough. The town was first settled in 1768 by James Sanderson and his family.
In 1776, Joab Hoisington built a gristmill, followed by a sawmill, on the south
branch of the Ottauquechee River. The town was incorporated in 1837.

Woodstock developed rapidly once the war ended in 1783. Factories made scythes and
axes,carding machines, and woolens. There was a machine shop and gunsmith shop.
Manufacturers also produced furniture, wooden wares, window sashes and blinds.
Carriages, horse harnesses, saddles, luggage trunks and leather goods were also
manufactured. By 1875, the Woodstock Railroad opened to White River Junction,
carrying freight and tourists.
The Woodstock Inn – Originally opened in 1892
The economy is now largely driven by tourism – Woodstock has the 20th highest per-
capita income of Vermont towns. The seasonal presence of wealthy second-home
owners from cities such as Boston and New York has contributed to the town’s
economic vitality. The town’s central square, called the Green, is bordered by
restored late Georgian, Federal Style, and Greek Revival houses. The cost of real
estate in the district adjoining the Green is among the highest in the state.
Woodstock maintains a free community wi-fi internet service that covers most of
the village of Woodstock, dubbed “Wireless Woodstock”.

In his City Life: Urban Expectations in a New World, Canadian author and architect
Witold Rybczynski extensively analyzes the layout of the town and the informal and
unwritten rules which determined it. According to Rybczynski, the overall plan
seems to have been dictated by the site itself: a narrow, flat valley hemmed in by
the sweeping curve of the Ottauqueechee River on one side and a small creek on the
other. The green was laid out lengthwise on the narrow peninsula between the river
and the creek, allowing for many plots to have rear gardens running down to the
riverbank… This is a subtle sort of urban design, but it is design, design that
proceeds not from a predetermined master plan, but from the process of building
itself. Rybczynsk points out that there is no zoning in Woodstock, and “buildings
with different functions sat – and still sit today – side by side on the same
streets”, with practical exceptions such as the slaughterhouse and the gasworks.

The Rockefellers have had an enormous impact on the overall character of the town
as it exists today. They helped preserve the 19th century architecture and the
rural feel. In the late 1960s they tore down the landmark Woodstock Inn, a
Victorian treasure reconstructed in 1892 from the old Eagle Hotel, which served
as a center point for the town, and built a charming neo-colonial edifice farther
back from the street. Laurance and Mary French Rockefeller also had the village’s
power lines buried underground. To protect their ridgeline views, the town
adopted an ordinance creating a Scenic Ridgeline District in order to protect
the aesthetics and the views of the town. It was updated in 2007.

During the 17th century, French colonists claimed the territory as part of the
Kingdom of France’s colony of New France. After the Kingdom of Great Britain began
to settle colonies to the south along the Atlantic coast, the two nations competed
in North America: after being defeated in 1763 in the Seven Years’ War, France
ceded its territory east of the Mississippi River to Great Britain. An approximate
2% remnant of French speakers persists to the present day.
The Battle of Bennington was fought on August 16, 1777. A combined American force
under General John Stark, attacked and defeated the Hessian forces at Hoosick, New
York, just across the border from Bennington. British General John Burgoyne never
recovered from this loss and eventually surrendered the remainder of the 6,000-man
force at Saratoga, New York, on October 17 of that year. The battle of Bennington is
considered a crucial turning point in the Revolutionary War and represents the first
major defeat of a British army. The anniversary of this battle – Bennington Battle
Day – is celebrated in Vermont as a legal holiday.
Post-war – Vermont continued to govern itself as a sovereign entity issuing its own
coinage and operating a national postal service. A petition for statehood was
officially sanctioned and approved by an Act of Congress in 1791 – thus making
Vermont the 14th state and the first state to enter the Union after the original
13. In November of 1858, Under the Act “To Secure Freedom to All Persons Within
This State,” slavery was officially outlawed less than three years before the
American Civil War.
