  Early Settlement - Early Settlers

    Walden was named after an officer in General Moses Hazen's command, who was left in charge of the blockhouse on the Bayley-Hazen Military Road in Walden in the winter of 1779-1780.

    For the most part Walden, covering six square miles, is quite hilly, rising to its highest part in the north central part of town.  The Chief rocks are slate and granite.  The majority of trees are maple, spruce, fir, cedar, beech and yellow and white birch.

    Because of Walden's high elevation, the winters are noted for their snow storms and bitter cold.  An early resident described the town as being an ideal place for sleigh rides in that there are nine months of winter and three months of late fall.

    After the first major settlers there were few emigrants for several years.  The farms of the first settlers were mainly carried on by their sons, indicating the attachment there used to be to mountain homes.

   At one time there were 25 voters by the name of Perkins who descended from the first settler, Nathaniel, and his brothers, John and Joseph.

    The early farmers toiled very hard in deep soil which was, and is, quite stony, and for the most part they produced hay, grain, butter, maple sugar and potatoes.  Corn was seldom attempted.

    On November 6, 1780, the township was granted, and on August 18, 1781, it was chartered to Moses Robinson and 64 others by the Vermont Legislature.

    Early Walden consisted of several small communities.

    Noyesville, a post village in the eastern part of town, had a store, school, sawmill, blacksmith shop, feather duster shop, a lumber dressing and gristmill, a factory which manufactured potato starch, several dwellings and a Methodist Church built in 1856.

    Walden Four Corners, in the geographical center of town, was at one time a post village with a store, mill, school and dwellings along the County Road toward North Walden.

    There was a church built by the Congregationalists in North Walden and also a school.

    South Walden in the southwestern part of town included Houston Hill and Taylorville.  The Bayley-Hazen Road ran through much of South Walden.  The old stage coach inn was located at the crossroads, and there was a school, store, creamery, blacksmith's shop, several dwellings and the first church built in 1825 as a Christian Union Society Meeting House, now known as the South Walden United Methodist Church.

    In Taylorville there were a gristmill, a sawmill and a carriage shop.

    On April 20, 1977, the state officially changed the name of Meadow Brook, which flows through South Walden on land owned by the town's first settler, to Perkins Meadow Brook.

    Walden Heights, the townfolks' name for the area where there was once a railroad station, a store, a school and a post office, is now the location of the fire department, the town clerk's office and a school.

The first permanent settlement in Walden was that of Nathaniel Perkins, who came from Northfield, N.H., with his wife, Martha, and two children, Jonathan and Betsy, in 1789.  They were the only family here for about three years before others began to arrive.  Their son, Jesse, the first white child born here, was born in the block house on November 19, 1790.  The first white female was his sister, Hannah, born on April 30, 1792.

After the Perkins family, the order of settlement in town was Nathan Barker, Joseph Burley, Samuel and Ezekiel Gilman, Elisha and Benjamin Cate, Samuel Huckins, Robert Carr and Major Robinson.

    The town records show there were 16 voters at the Freeman's Meeting for 1797 to select a representative to Congress.  Louis R. Morris received 16 votes.  No other person was nominated.
