Built around farms in the Waits River valley, Topsham grew into a rural town in eastern Vermont. Chartered in 1761 by New Hampshire governor Benning Wentworth, it took its name from Topsham in Devon, England. The Waits River flows east toward the Connecticut River, and the town’s countryside is shaped by working fields, wooded slopes, and small settlements including East Topsham and West Topsham. In Orange County, Topsham reflects the local scale and civic traditions associated with Vermont’s historic town system. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Vermont.
