Hardwick, Vermont, USA (East, Center) (Mackville)
1849 - Hardwick

Caledonia Co. Hardwick is finely watered by Lamoille River, which gives the town valuable mill sites, and which are well improved for manufacturing purposes. The soil of the town is generally very good, and produces a variety of exports.

There are in this town three small villages. The oldest, called the Street, or Hazen's Road, is situated on high land near the north line of the town: the second, called Stevensville, is on the River Lamoille, in the eastern part : and the third and largest, called Lamoilleville, on the same river in the south-west part of the town. Each of these villages contains a number of mechanics' shops, stores, &c., and the two latter possess excellent water privileges, on which mills and other machinery are erected.

There is a mineral spring in the south part of the town, which is a place of considerable resort, and is found to be very efficacious, particularly in cutaneous affections.

Boundaries. North-east by Greensborough, south-cast by Walden, southwest by Woodbury, and north-west by Wolcott.
