Named for d’Anville
Danville dates to 1786. The Vermont Legislature granted it on October 31 of that year, making it one of the last towns created in what’s now Caledonia County, and the town organized in 1787. A second charter followed in 1802. Danville was part of Orange County until Caledonia County was organized.
The town took its name from Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d’Anville, an 18th-century French geographer and cartographer who greatly improved the standards of mapmaking. He drew more than 200 maps, built from careful original research, and where he didn’t know what was there he left the space blank and noted doubtful information as such, unlike the decorated maps of the mapmakers before him. He became cartographer to the king of France.
Thaddeus Stevens
Thaddeus Stevens was born in Danville on April 4, 1792. He grew up poor, and in 1807 his mother moved the family to neighboring Peacham so her sons could go to school there. Stevens went on to practice law in Pennsylvania, where he became a strong advocate of free public education, and in the 1860s, as a congressman from Pennsylvania, he was one of the leaders of the Radical Republicans.

Ponds, hills and the covered bridge
Joe’s Pond, the only large body of water in town, covers 396 acres, partly in Danville and partly in Cabot. It’s an impoundment of the brook in West Danville and the largest of six ponds and lakes in the brook’s watershed, which drains to the Passumpsic River. U.S. Route 2 passes the pond on its way from St. Johnsbury to Montpelier, 26 miles to the west, and Vermont Route 15 leaves it at West Danville, heading northwest toward Hardwick. The highest point in town, 2,365 feet, is on the ridge of the Kittredge Hills along the western border.
In the south of town the Greenbanks Hollow Covered Bridge carries Greenbanks Hollow Road over Joe’s Brook. It was built in 1886 with a queen post truss, it’s the only 19th-century covered bridge left in Danville, and it was substantially rebuilt in 2002. In West Danville, the Charles D. Brainerd Public Library reopened in July 2017, which again made Danville home to the smallest library in Vermont. The American Society of Dowsers holds its annual convention in Danville.
To find your way on the map, start in the village and follow the Theodore Roosevelt Highway and Hill Street, then look for the Bruce Badger Memorial Highway, Parker Road, Stanton Road and Water Andric Road.
