Description: Manchester, Vermont - A Pleasant Land Among the MountainsSigned by the authors. A history of Manchester from 1761 to 1961."This is the story of Manchester, a township granted by Benning Wentworth, Governor of New Hampshire, to a group of land speculators in 1761 and bought from them by another group of speculators in Amenia New York, who became the town's Proprietors. They proceeded to settle Manchester and trade its acres for their enrichment. About 1850 the community's seemingly one inexhaustible resource, its scenic charm and geographic location, was recognized for its potential value. The town entered what may be its soundest and most lasting status, that which it now advertises as a four-season recreation and retirement community."
