Shaftsbury's history is deeply rooted in the early days of Vermont. You might say that Benning Wentworth, Governor of New Hampshire, was the father of the Town of Shaftsbury. Shaftsbury came into existence on August 20, 1761, when Governor Wentworth granted 66 shares of 23,000 acres of land for the new Township (the original grant is still kept in the Town Clerk's Office). Wentworth's New Hampshire grant price was less than New York's for the same land, creating a 'land rush' as speculators like Ethan and Ira Allen bought up grants. When a New York court challenged his rights to lands allegedly along West Mountain Road, Shaftsbury, he organized the 'Green Mountain Boys,' an unofficial militia, to fight for their rights against their New York neighbors, not against the Crown. This included conflicts with settlers like John Monro, living in Shaftsbury Hollow, who claimed lands under a New York Grant.
