Incorporation date[edit]

NaCo is incorrect in its 1779 date. 1779 is when Vermont was created with 2 counties (Cumberland and Bennington). In 1781, Cumberland was split into three, including Windham. Is there any other source that corroborates 1779? The 1781 date is confirmed by several history books ([1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]) --Polaron | Talk 03:10, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

You're right, Vermont was created with Cumberland and Bennington in 1779. In 1781, Cumberland was split into three counties, Orange, Windsor, and Windham. BUT Windham(former Cumberland) was not re-created, but rather renamed in 1781, and its creation date is the same as Cumberland's. That's what I got from NACo.--Crzycheetah 03:21, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

The fourth link that you provided, also talks about Windham being renamed rather than created. So, some say 1779, while others say 1781. I think we need to state that in both articles.--Crzycheetah 03:33, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
Couldn't we equally say that Orange or Windsor was Cumberland renamed? Overwhelming weight of the sources provided here seems to say that Windham was newly created, or that Cumberland is extinct — are there any other sources that support the renaming idea? Nyttend (talk) 12:12, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
I don't think we could say that because the formation year for both Orange and Windsor is 1781, I have not seen any other year anywhere. As for Windham, [9], [10], [11], [12], and [13] state that the county was formed in 1779(the same year Cumberland was formed). Also, [14] has the following blurb: "[on] February 11, 1779, when Cumberland County was changed to Windham County".--Crzycheetah 16:32, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
Sounds more convincing than before...it would help if the state legislature had enacted a legalese form of "Cumberland County is now Windham County". ````
