Danville
is the chief town. This county is bounded east by Connecticut River
and Essex County, south by Orange County, west by Washington County, and
north by the county of Orleans. The eastern range of the Green Mountains
extends through the western part of the county. It is watered by
many fine streams, but the Connecticut and Passumpsic are its chief rivers.
A large part of the county is high and good land; that along the rivers
is excellent. It produces wheat and other grain, beef cattle, horses,
and sheep. There are some sulphur springs in this county; limestone
and granite are abundant.
