history

The town of Rockingham, in which the Village Saxtons River is located, is one of the early settled areas of Vermont. Proposed for settlement by Governor Benning Wentworth of New Hampshire, the first settlers came to the country as early as 1753. The village was able to develop thanks to its favorable location on the Saxtons River, whose water drove several water mills in the early 19th century. Early businesses included wool and sawmills, a flour mill, a tannery, a distillery, a watch factory, and a hotel.

The Village Saxtons River was given independent rights in 1905.

From 1900 to 1924 the Saxtons River connected with Bellows Falls , the other village in the town of Rockingham, the Bellows Falls-Saxtons River tram . The operating company also founded Barber Park , located between Saxtons River and Bellows Falls, a venue for concerts, baseball games and rides.

The center of the village is listed on the National Register Historic Districts .
