Caledonia County, Administrative county in northeastern Vermont, US
Description
Caledonia County is an administrative county in northeastern Vermont. The Passumpsic River flows through this territory before merging with the Connecticut River, which forms its southeastern edge.
History
The county was established in November 1792 when the Vermont legislature divided Chittenden and Orange Counties into six new regions. This reorganization created several new administrative areas across the state.
Culture
The name comes from the Latin word for Scotland, reflecting the strong Scottish heritage of settlers who built communities here. This connection to Scottish roots remains visible today in local place names and traditions.
Practical
St. Johnsbury serves as the county seat and handles administrative matters for the region. The area is relatively easy to navigate and provides good access to towns and outdoor spaces.
Did you know?
The territory contains natural sulfur springs scattered across several locations including Wheelock, Haynesville, and Hardwick. These geological features remain largely overlooked by most travelers exploring the region.
