A Look at Middletown Springs' Past
Middletown Springs was officially started in 1784. People from nearby towns like Ira, Poultney, Wells, and Tinmouth asked the Vermont government to create a new town. They wanted a town where it was easier to attend meetings and church services. The mountains and ridges made it hard for them to travel to their original towns. So, Middletown Springs was created within these natural boundaries.
