Description

Panoramic map of Vergennes, Addison County, VT, drawn and published by L. R. Burleigh in 1890.

Named for the French diplomat and statesman, Charles Gravier, Comte de Vergennes, the city of Vergennes was the only one of Vermont's cities not to have been first chartered as a town or village. Parts of towns already along Otter Creek Falls were set off to create Vegennes. Today, Vergennes is Vermont's smallest city.

The map features inset illustrations of the National Horse Nail Company's Works, the steamboat Reindeer at the Steamboat Landing and the Nevius and Haviland's Shade Roller Works beside the falls.
