Shaftsbury, Vermont, nestled in the heart of The Shires, boasts a rich history. It stands as one of the first towns chartered in Vermont. In the early days, Governor Wentworth moved quickly to grant land in the area, anticipating conflict with New York's claims. When New York surveyors finally arrived, they were met by determined settlers ready to defend their hard-earned homes and improvements. Like many towns in The Shires, Shaftsbury was named after English nobility, a likely attempt by Wentworth to gain favor back in England amidst the land grant controversy. Shaftsbury also holds the distinction of being home to Jonas Galusha, Vermont’s 6th and 8th Governor, as well as many citizens deeply involved in the disputes over land claims between New York and New Hampshire.
