Mansfield, Lamoille County, Vermont Genealogy
Mansfield is an extinct town formerly in Lamoille County, Vermont and Chittenden County, Vermont. Mansfield was first surveyed and established prior to settlement in 1763.[1][2] The earliest settlers in Underhill (west side of the mountain) arrived 1786, so the west side of Mansfield would have been settled later than that.[3] The western third of Mansfield on the west side of the peak was annexed to Underhill, Vermont (Chittenden County) in 1839. The eastern two-thirds portion of Mansfield was voted by its citizens into Stowe, Vermont (Lamoille County) in 1848.[2]
