Sterling, Lamoille County, Vermont Genealogy

Sterling  is an extinct town in Lamoille County, Vermont first settled in the late 1700s, and incorporated in 1805. With two ranges of hills the town was divided into three parts. Its population peaked prior to annexation at 233. In 1828 most of the town west of the main range (Smugglers Notch and Morses Mill) was annexed to Cambridge, Vermont.
