The Sokoki band of Abenaki, who lived in the area before European settlement, called the place Wantastegok. To defend Massachusetts against Chief Gray Lock and others during Dummer's War, the Massachusetts General Court voted on December 27, 1723, to build a blockhouse and stockade on the Connecticut River near the future town, and construction of Fort Dummer began on February 3, 1724. The French attacked the fort on October 11, 1724, killing some soldiers, and the war ended in 1725. In peaceful periods from 1728 the fort served as a trading post between colonists and Native people, though violence flared again during King George's War from 1744 to 1748.

More about Brattleboro

The area was part of the Equivalent Lands, but it became one of the New Hampshire grants and was chartered on December 26, 1753, by Governor Benning Wentworth as Brattleborough, named for Brigadier General William Brattle Jr. of Boston, a military officer, cleric and slaveholder who was a principal proprietor, though there is no record he ever visited. Settlement remained tentative until after the 1763 Treaty of Paris ended French claims to the region. In peacetime Brattleboro grew quickly into one of Vermont's leading towns for business and wealth. Stephen Greenleaf opened Vermont's first store there in 1771, a post office was established in 1784, and a bridge was built across the Connecticut to Hinsdale, New Hampshire, in 1804. In 1834 the Brattleboro Retreat, then the Vermont Asylum for the Insane, was founded through a bequest from Anna Marsh of Hinsdale. Sources Wikipedia: Brattleboro, Vermont
