Brief History
Hubbardton is a small community of scattered rural homes and dwellings clustered around its many lakes and ponds. It is a town of rolling hills and picturesque lakes dating back to the early seventeen hundreds.

Chartered on June 15, 1764, Hubbardton is named after Boston merchant Thomas Hubbard, one of the original grantees. Another 10 years passed before the first settlers, two Connecticut families, arrived to clear land in what is present day East Hubbardton. Others followed, but the American Revolution hampered growth. However, in March 1784, the residents conducted their first town meeting and officially organized Hubbardton.

On July 7, 1777, the Battle of Hubbardton occurred. The engagement possesses a distinction of its own - the only battle of the American Revolution fought on Vermont soil. Though the battle is considered a draw in history, the losses inflicted on the British forced them to halt at Hubbardton and not continue their chase of the Americans.

Hubbardton has very few businesses and no large employers. Many of the residents are part timers and are drawn to the town for the dozen lakes and ponds located within the town's boundaries.
