[edit] Early History
In jr. high, we were told that Barton actually crossed the official township name off the charter and inserted his own in its stead. Can anyone confirm this and, if possible, provide the originally chartered name? User:Snyrt
- Can't find it now, but we don't know if the story is merely apocryphal. It didn't seem solid enough for an encyclopedia. (I was told the same thing, but remember, we had Bartons living around us. The story may have been invented and perpetuated just to twit them!) Student7 11:48, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Space in article name
Is there any particular reason this article is called "Barton , Vermont" and not "Barton, Vermont"? René van Buuren 22:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Not really. Meant to overwrite Barton, Vermont disambiguation (on purpose) and apparently messed up. Just haven't gotten around to correcting it. Feel free! :) Student7 00:24, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hm, I don't think you can move a page onto an existing page. You'll probably have to request the move here and show the consensus that the town takes precedence over the village. René van Buuren 03:33, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help. I've requested an uncontested move. We'll see what happens. Student7 12:17, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
