Town
Profiles - Buel's Gore
Located
in the extreme southeastern corner of Chittenden
County, Buel's Gore was formed out of land
left over after surveys of surrounding towns
were completed. A large portion of Camels
Hump State Forest lays within its boundaries.
Vermont Route 17 winds its way through the
Appalachian Gap, a mountain gap with excellent
scenic views. A population of twelve live
within the rugged, forested community.
The town's triangular shape contributed to
its designation as a "gore." First used by
the Middle English, gore was adapted from
the Old English "gar," which meant "spear."
Spear points are triangular, and the Middle
English used the term to refer to a triangular
piece of land, which is the first choice of
use in today's dictionaries. In sewing, a
gore is a triangular piece of cloth deliberately
inserted to provide ease or fullness to a
garment. It is not, as some have stated, a
leftover piece of cloth. |
