Geocache Description:

This cache is part of the Vermont 251 Plus 4 Geocaching Club, an attempt to bring caches to each and every town, city and gore in the state of Vermont!

Wardsboro is one of the few towns in Vermont about which there is no question as to the origin of its name: William Ward of Newfane and 61 others were granted the town to be known as Wardsborough. In 1788, it was divided into North and South Districts, the latter becoming present-day Dover in 1810.
One of Vermont's smaller towns because of that split, it has a proportionately large number of distinct hamlets: North, South and West Wardsboro and Wardsboro Center, which was originally Unionville, due to strong Federal sentiment during the Civil War. It was also known locally as "Bucketville", after Jebediah Estabrook's tub, bucket and pail factory, the main employer in the area in the 1880s.
