The first settlers, Samuel Lard and Seth Leavitt, arrived in 1797. Grain and lumber mills were built on the Mad River to grind grain or manufacture lumber and clapboards.[5] On the fertile intervales, farmers grew hay. By 1839, when the town's population was 766, cattle and about 4000 sheep grazed the hills.[6] Milk and maple syrup were important commodity goods.

In the late 1930s, the area began to be developed for recreational skiing.The first ski tow was erected in the Mad River Valley by the Warren Outing Club.

In 1958, Damon Gadd and Jack Murphy founded Sugarbush Ski Area on the northeast side of Lincoln Peak. They had a three-seat gondola installed; at that time it was the nation's longest lift. It was manufactured in Italy.[7] Eventually this developed into what is today Sugarbush Resort, a tourist destination.
