Williamstown (pop. 2,928) is located in Orange County at the junction of Routes 14 and 64. Chartered on August 9, 1781, the village was named after a Massachusetts town. West Hill here is the site of the first houses settlers built in 1784. Settler Elijah Paine served as Williamstown's first moderator and Representative to the General Assembly, then a Vermont Supreme Court Justice, U.S. Senator and U.S. District Court Judge. Williamstown's picturesque Gulf was once the site of medicinal springs that attracted health seekers from numerous states. Today, this area is a tranquil home to native plants and wildlife as well as an attraction to photographers, birders and naturalists.
