Named for the hero of Bennington
Vermont granted the town on November 7, 1780, and chartered it two days later, on November 9. It was named for John Stark, the New Hampshire militia officer known as the “Hero of Bennington” for his service at the Battle of Bennington in 1777. Years later, too unwell to attend a reunion of Bennington veterans, Stark sent a letter that closed “Live free or die,” words that became New Hampshire’s state motto in 1945. Starksboro moved from Chittenden County to Addison County in 1794 and organized in March 1796, and John Ferguson is the first representative the Legislature lists, in 1798.
The Starksboro area was one of the earliest places in Vermont to be settled by Quakers, drawn here by Joseph Hoag, who had set up a meeting at Danby. Hoag also built a gristmill in the 1790s in the gorge of Lewis Creek in the northwest part of town, and the mill’s two-story stone base still stands on State Prison Hollow Road beside the Knight House of the 1820s. In southern Starksboro, on Dan Sargent Road, the South Starksboro Friends Meeting House was built in the 1820s for a meeting first organized in 1799. It’s the oldest Quaker meeting house in Vermont, and most of its half-acre lot is a cemetery with burials from the early 1800s to the 1970s.

The village and its meeting house
In the village center, on the west side of Route 116 a short way south of Big Hollow Road, stands the Starksboro Village Meeting House. Before it was built, town meetings were held in the schoolhouse and the Methodist, Free Will Baptist and Christian congregations met in members’ homes. In 1838 the three churches and the town agreed to build it together, and it was finished in 1840, a Gothic Revival building with a two-stage bell tower and tall pointed windows, with the town meeting room in the basement. The town moved to its present town hall in 1910, and since 1957 the Starksboro Village Meeting House Society has cared for the building. All three of these places, the gristmill, the Friends meeting house and the village meeting house, are on the National Register of Historic Places.
South of the village, Route 17 crosses the southern part of town, leading east over the Green Mountains to Mad River Glen and Waitsfield and west to Bristol. Phineas D. Ballou, born here in 1823, served as mayor of Burlington from 1868 to 1870, and Amos Hoag, born here in 1805, served in the Iowa House of Representatives from 1860 to 1862. Barbara Ann Cochran, who won the slalom gold medal at the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo by 0.02 seconds, the smallest winning margin in Olympic history, makes her home in Starksboro.
On the map, start with Jerusalem, then follow Carp Cole Road, Hinesburg Hollow Road, Big Hollow Road, Ireland Road, Shaker Hill Road and Jerusalem Road across town. Then look outward toward South Starksboro and Rockville. Baldwin Pond is printed too. Starksboro dates to 1780.
