Geographical location

Sudbury lies in the fertile, hilly plains southeast of Lake Champlain and west of the Green Mountains . In the east the Otter Creek flows through the town for a few kilometers.

A lake district ends in the southern half of the town, which runs parallel to the Green Mountains from Putney. The northern part of Lake Hortonia belongs to Sudbury; smaller but notable lakes are Burr Pond, Hinkum Pond, Huff Pond, and High Pond . The Willow Brook flows into the latter . Due to this lake district, the proportion of water area in the area of ​​the town is 4.5%.

history

Sudbury was sold to a group of interested parties on August 6, 1761, with an area of ​​13,426 acres (54.3 km²). The early settlers were mostly from Connecticut.

From the beginning, Sudbury has almost exclusively farmed one. Sheep breeding, which was common until around 1870, was replaced by dairy farming, which still dominates the area today.

Religions

In the first time after the foundation, two faith communities developed in the area: Methodists and Congregationalists . No data have been recorded about the Methodists; the congregationalists built their first meeting house in 1805 and hired the first pastor in January 1806.

Two parishes are still located in the village today: one of the Assemblies of God ( Living Water ) and one of the United Church of Christ .
