Orleans County Town Names.
The discussion brought out by the vote
10 change the name of Barton Landing
to Orleans calls up some interesting
n bits of history concerning the towns of
Orleans county and their original names.
q II seems that but six towns retain the
original name OF the charter, i having
u changed after the town was named and
called something else and one, Barton,
was changed 30 the original charter from
Providence to Barton by Col. Vim
Barton who wished to immortalize his
name. It's said he carefully scratched
out the word Providence and inserted his
own name
Barton Landing is not the first town
to be called Orleans as Coventry was for
tw0years called Orleans. In November,
lS41 Coventry was changed to Orleans
and two years later, in 1S43, it was
q altered back to Coventry.
Derby has not changed its name but in
1850 took In the town of Salem. Salem
bad diversified history but had the
town lived as chartered it would have
q undoubtedly been today the most in
Huenual town IN the county as the terri
tory took in that part of Newport on
n which the village of Newport now
4 stands, the village of West Derby and
most Of the village of Derby Center.
