I was hoping to identify the date the town was separated from its NH/Siamese twin, Hinsdale, among other things. 96.237.240.126 ( talk) 20:17, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

The article said this:
"1793" was rather confusing, since if there was any identifiable occasion when "the Connecticut River was established as the boundary", it would probably be the act of the Vermont legislature in the spring of 1782 (nine years before Vermont's admission to the Union), when they acquiesced to the demands that Congress had expressed in August 1781. The year 1753, on the other hand, was during the time when Governor Benning Wentworth of New Hampshire was issuing land grants, mostly west of the river in what later became Vermont. But there was nothing to stop him from issuing a grant straddling the river. The grants were typically squares of six miles by six miles, and looking at a map it appears that such a square in that location would straddle the river. The cited web site of the town of Vernon says there was a grant in 1753. The site seems somewhat less than authoritative, but 1753 makes sense where 1793 appears not to.
