history

The grant for Barton was proclaimed on October 28, 1781. The grant was given to Colonel William Barton and others. The Village Orleans was granted independent rights in 1879.

At first the village was named Barton Landing after its location on the Barton River. However, since the residents felt that they were behind the other village in the town of Barton, Barton Village , the village was renamed Orleans in 1909 .

The most important local employer is the furniture manufacturer Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. with a plant in Orleans.
