Middlebury
Town
and College
The
founders of the town of Middlebury dreamed of establishing a prosperous
commercial community inhabited by educated and religious citizens.
They realized that a college would help them achieve their goals
by attracting prospective settlers and providing affordable education
to future community leaders1.
As a result Middlebury College was established in November 1800.
Ever since, town and college have exerted financial,
religious,
social and cultural influence on each other.
