Burlington
is the chief town. This county is bounded north by Franklin County,
east by Washington County, south by Addison County, and west by Champlain
Lake. A few settlements commenced in this county before the revolution,
but they were all abandoned during the war. Its soil varies from
rich alluvial meadows to light and sandy plains. The beautiful Champlain
washing its western boundary, gives it great facilities for trade.
Its agricultural and manufacturing products are considerable. Lamoille
River passes through its north-west corner, and Winooski River pierces
its centre. These streams, with several others of smaller size, afford
the county a good water power.
The
railroads which intersect this county in various directions; its fine mill
privileges, and good soil, renders this highly interesting section of the
State.
