United States Vermont  Windham   Marlboro

Brief History
The town was chartered on April 29, 1751. Originally Marleborough, then Marlbrough, the Indian Wars interfered with the initial settlement. Wentworth re-granted the town to exactly the same group of people in 1761, and again to a slightly different group in 1764 as New Marlborough. The "New" was never popular with the residents, and was later officially changed. Since no settlement took place, that charter was forfeited and a second charter was granted in 1761. As Marlboro was a half shire town of the County of Windham in the early days, courts were held alternately with Westminster
