New Stamford on the state line
New Hampshire granted it on March 6, 1753, as New Stamford, and renewed the charter on June 9, 1764. The town organized on March 14, 1780, or perhaps earlier, and dropped the “New” in 1783. Jonathan Munger was its first representative in the legislature, in 1781. Clarksburg and Florida, Massachusetts, lie to the south, Pownal to the west, Readsboro to the east and Woodford to the north, and the village of Stamford is in the southern part of town, in the valley of the North Branch of the Hoosic River.
Routes 8 and 100 begin together at the Massachusetts line, where Route 8 continues south toward North Adams, and they’re the only state highways in town. They run north as Main Road through the town center and into Readsboro. Route 100 goes on to become Vermont’s longest numbered highway, running more than 216 miles to Newport, on the Canadian border.

Near the southern end of the village, on the west side of Main Road, stands the Tudor House, built in 1900 for John Tudor, a Welsh immigrant who’d made a fortune as a mill owner in northern Vermont and settled in Stamford in 1890. At a time when the town’s population was falling and most of its buildings were plain and vernacular, he built a Queen Anne house full of gables, turrets, bays and porches, with Colonial Revival woodwork inside. It’s one of the most architecturally sophisticated buildings in town, and it joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Leroy Lawrence farmed in Stamford, served as town meeting moderator and selectman and became Speaker of the Vermont House from 1961 to 1963, and he later turned part of his farm into the Stamford Valley Golf Club. Stephen C. Millard, born in Stamford in 1841, became a lawyer in Binghamton and served New York in Congress from 1883 to 1887.
