The gore was originally chartered to be part of the town of [[Warren, Vermont|Warren]] on October 20, 1789. The charter provided for two tracts of land; one of which became the town, the other became the gore. The two tracts were quite a few miles from each other, on opposite sides of the state. The tract that became the gore has been treated as separate from the town since its inception. The charter referred to the two tracts collectively as "a Township by the name of Warren". (''State Papers of Vermont, Volume Two: Charters Granted by the State of Vermont'', VT Secretary of State, 1922, pp. 207–9, also p. 362).
Warren's Gore was originally chartered to be part of the town of [[Warren, Vermont|Warren]] on October 20, 1789. The charter provided for two tracts of land, one which became the town and the other which became the gore. They were almost 100 miles from each other, on opposite sides of the state. Why they were chartered together is still uncertain, but it is possible that this was due to the tract of land for the grant that became the town of Warren being smaller than most; the inclusion of the gore would therefore have been a tactic to increase the total land area. The tract that became the gore has been treated as separate from the town since its inception. The charter referred to the two tracts collectively as "a Township by the name of Warren".<ref>''State Papers of Vermont, Volume Two: Charters Granted by the State of Vermont'', Vermont Secretary of State, 1922, pp.&nbsp;207–9, also p.&nbsp;362.</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-03-26 |title=Then Again: A use for Vermont's leftover bits and pieces |url=https://vtdigger.org/2017/03/26/then-again-a-use-for-vermonts-leftover-bits-and-pieces/ |access-date=2022-12-13 |website=VTDigger |language=en-US}}</ref>

=="Warren's Gore" or "Warren Gore"==
Sources are inconsistent on whether the name of the gore is ''Warren's Gore'' or ''Warren Gore'':

''State Papers of Vermont, Volume One: Index to the Papers of the Surveyors-General'' (VT Secretary of State, 1918) lists the name as "Warren's Gore, one of two tracts in Vt. Grant to John Throop and associates, Oct. 27[sic], 1789, as Warren." (p. 155, note: it appears the date should actually be Oct. 20, and is given as such on the same page under the entry for the ''town'' of Warren).

The Vermont Statutes use ''Warren's Gore'' in at least two places (Title 17, Chapter 34, Section 1893 and T. 24, Ch. 117, Sec. 4341(e)). In at least one other place, however, the statutes use ''Warren Gore'' (T. 24, Ch. 1, Sec. 6).

The ''Gazetteer of Caledonia and Essex Counties, VT, 1764-1887'' (Hamilton Child, 1887) uses ''Warren's Gore'' on p. 15, but ''Warren Gore'' on p. 490.

''The Vermont Road Atlas and Guide'' (Northern Cartographic, 1989) uses ''Warren Gore'' (p. 63) as does ''Vermont Place-Names: Footprints of History'' by Esther M. Swift (The Stephen Greene Press, 1977, pp. 222–3).

The ''Vermont Atlas and Gazetteer'' (Delorme, 9th ed., 1996) uses ''Warren Gore'' on the relevant map (p. 55), but also uses ''Warrens Gore'' (with no apostrophe) for the gore's entry in the index (p. 7).

Warren's Gore (or Warrens Gore or Warren Gore) is a gore in Essex County, Vermont, United States.[1] The population was 2 at the 2020 census,[2] down from 4 at the 2010 census. In Vermont, gores and grants are unincorporated portions of a county which are not part of any town and have limited self-government (if any, as many are uninhabited). Warren's Gore is part of the Berlin, NH–VT Micropolitan Statistical Area.

History

[edit]

Warren's Gore was originally chartered to be part of the town of Warren on October 20, 1789. The charter provided for two tracts of land, one which became the town and the other which became the gore. They were almost 100 miles from each other, on opposite sides of the state. Why they were chartered together is still uncertain, but it is possible that this was due to the tract of land for the grant that became the town of Warren being smaller than most; the inclusion of the gore would therefore have been a tactic to increase the total land area. The tract that became the gore has been treated as separate from the town since its inception. The charter referred to the two tracts collectively as "a Township by the name of Warren".[3][4]

While the place was known as Warren's Gore, including in Vermont state statutes,[5] the U.S. Board on Geographic Names eschews the use of apostrophes in geographic names, which may improperly imply personal possession.[6] This has led to the use of both Warrens Gore and Warren Gore as well. The Vermont Atlas and Gazetteer (Delorme, 9th ed., 1996) uses Warren Gore on the relevant map (p. 55) but also uses Warrens Gore (with no apostrophe) for the gore's entry in the index (p. 7).

Geography

[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the gore has a total area of 11.4 square miles (29.5 km2), of which 10.5 square miles (27.3 km2) is land and 0.81 square miles (2.1 km2), or 7.26%, is water.[7] The gore contains the majority of Norton Pond, the source of the Coaticook River, which flows north into Quebec. Less than one mile south of Norton Pond is the source of the Pherrins River, which flows south to Island Pond and is part of the Clyde River (Lake Memphremagog) watershed.

Vermont Route 114 passes through Warrens Gore, leading north to Norton and south to Island Pond.
