In a 2022 conversation with one of the town elders, the question was asked as to why there are no signs identifying the location of the Town of Waltham, Vermont. After pondering the question, a bit, the reply came back, “The people who live in Waltham know where it is. For the rest it is not necessary. This is a small, but special place.” Small indeed, occupying only nine square miles, but unique and rooted in its creation in 1791 and the historic events of the county. Links listed below shed light on the creation of the town, the geographical features that make it unique and even the story of the name “Walt” meaning woods and “ham” meaning home.
