History

As Fort Dummer (1724), it was Vermont's first English settlement. It was named Brattleboro in 1753. From 1845, mineral springs attracted health seekers. Estey organs were manufactured here from 1846. ‘Naulakha’, north of the village, was the home (1892–96) of the English writer Rudyard Kipling, who married a Brattleboro resident.
