Orleans Co. Irasburgh is somewhat diversified with gentle hills and valleys. The soil is easy to cultivate, and, in general, produces good crops- Black River passes through the township in a north-easterly direction, receiving a number of small streams, but its current is generally moderate, and it affords but few mill privileges. Barton River just touches upon the eastern comer. Nearly in the centre of the township is a small village.

Boundaries. Northerly by Orleans, easterly by Barton, and a small part of Brownington, southerly by Albany, and westerly by Lowell, Coventry Gore, and a part of Newport.

First Settlers. The settlement of this township was commenced a little previous to the year 1800.
