Missisquoi first, then Troy
Vermont chartered two tracts here in October 1792, Avery’s Grant and Kelly’s Grant. On October 28, 1801, the state joined them into one town named Missisquoi, after the river. The town was organized in March 1802, sent Alpheus Moore as its first representative that year, and took the name Troy on October 26, 1803. The Missisquoi runs through the town. It flows north along the east side of Troy village and past North Troy into Quebec, then turns west around the north end of the Green Mountains and comes back into Vermont on its way to Lake Champlain. In the early years Troy was an iron town, and it once turned out more than 400 short tons of cast iron a year.
In the winter of 1799 a small party of Native people, led by their chief, Captain Susap, built their camps on the river near the settlers and stayed until spring, making baskets, birch-bark cups and pails. One of them, a woman the settlers knew as Molly Orcutt, became well known among the settlers as a healer. Later, before the Civil War, Dr. Levi Moore and A. J. Rowell of Troy were agents on the Underground Railroad.

North Troy and the border
North Troy is the town’s incorporated village, with 631 people at the 2020 census. From 1940 to 1942 it held winter carnivals with dog sled races and ski jumping, and 4,000 people came to the one in 1942. Until 2007 the village had a police force of its own instead of relying on the town constable or the county sheriff.
Route 243 runs from North Troy to the border crossing with Highwater, Quebec, following the general course of the Missisquoi. The first formal United States border station on the site was built in 1937, when the government was tightening the border in the years of the automobile and Prohibition. A new station replaced it in 2009, but the 1937 building still stands about 150 feet to the south. It’s one of ten surviving 1930s station buildings in Vermont and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. Amasa Tracy had taken command of the old Vermont Brigade at the Battle of Cedar Creek and received the Medal of Honor for leading it in the assault. After the war he served as a customs agent at several Vermont border points, North Troy among them, and lived in North Troy for at least six years as a deputy collector of customs.
On the map, start in North Troy, then follow East Main Street, West Main Street and Highland Avenue, and head out along North Jay Road, River Road and Bear Mountain Road. Troy dates to 1801, when Missisquoi became a town.
