history

Mayo Building

Northfield was declared a settlement on November 6, 1780. Settlement of the area started in May 1785. The constituent assembly of the town was held nine years later, in 1794, and the politically independent municipality was founded. The Village Northfield was granted independent rights in 1855.

On October 10, 1848, the Windsor – Burlington railway line opened its first station in town. Due to its central location, the first Central Vermont Rail Depot , the operational and administrative center of the Central Vermont Railway, was built here . This contributed significantly to the development of the town. To the south of the village is the Norwich University campus .

Located on Depot Square in Village Northfield, the Mayo Building was built in 1902 and has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983 .
