United States Vermont  Bennington   Arlington 

Brief History
Arlington was chartered by New Hampshire Governor Benning Wentworth on July 28, 1761. The first meeting to organize the town was held in nearby Pownal in October 1762.

Much of the town is rocky and consists of steep slopes on the Taconic Mountains to the west and the Green Mountains to the east. Large-scale farming was limited, so lumber and sheep became important industries. Arlington was blessed with abundant waterpower to run mills, and this drove industrial progress.
