history

Warren Main Street about 1910

The Grant for Warren was given on November 9, 1780 to John Thorp and 67 others. The first town meeting was held on September 20, 1798 and when the funds were collected 9 years later, in 1789, it turned out that there was not enough land to found a town of the usual size. Therefore, additional areas in the north, the Warren Gore, were added. On November 12, 1824, the area of ​​the town was enlarged by an area that had previously belonged to the town of Lincoln. Warren was named after Joseph Warren, President pro tempore of the Provincial Congress, General of the Militia and the first American to be killed in the Battle of Bunker Hill .

The area of ​​the Town of Warren was wilderness at the time of settlement. The first settlers were trappers and farmers. They grew grain, potatoes and vegetables. Sugar was made from maple syrup. Hunting and fishing were also part of it. In addition to residential houses, the first buildings included a grist mill.

The Warren Historic District now consists of around 75 buildings. The core of the town consists of the United Church from 18388, the Village Cemetery from 1826, the Town Hall from 1872, and the Municipal Building and Library from 1867. The Warren House Hotel was built around 1840 and now houses a retail outlet.

The arrival of the ski industry gave Warren an economic boost. The first slope was already used in the late 1930s. After the Second World War, Roland Palmedo built the second ski area. After him, Damon Gadd founded the Sugarbush ski area in 1958.

Religions

First services were held from 1825 by Nathaniel Steams, the town's first priest of the Methodist Episcopal Church. A meetinghouse was built in East Warren in 1833 through a coalition of Universalists, Methodists, Congregationalists and Baptists. In 1838 the Warren River Meeting House Society was formed by believers of these faiths, and the United Church of Warren emerged from this in 1885.
