Some people living outside this
county, in the state and elsewhere,
seem to get COMPOUNDED in the two
names, Barton and Barton Landing.
By some it seems to be assumed that
there are two towns represented by
the above two names; others believe
that Barton Landing is a seaport or
lake or river landing, which makes
its name significant, while others have
no idea abeut~it. The following may
help such as are uniformed in the
matter: Barton Landing is situated
ON Barton river, near the confluence
of the Willoughby river, each of
which flows through this village. The
village is in almost the northwest cor
ner of Barton and is five miles from
RarUon Village and ten miles from
5he railroad station at So. Barton.
The village is favorably located as
business center and, barring the pres
snt time of depression, is a thriving,
Vermont village. While
not as large as the center village Of
he town, is at present, and it is ever
destined to be one of the busy and
thriving business centers of the coun-

rom the fact that in old times, before
