Eden was chartered in 1781 to 72 Green Mountain Boys who fought in the Revolutionary War. However, town history shows that Eden was not settled until after 1800, and none of the veterans to whom the town was originally chartered ever settled there.
An asbestos mine on Belvidere Mountain which operated from 1936 to 1993 left an estimated 3,500,000 cubic yards (2,700,000 m3) of mill tailings. In 2008, the state warned residents of Eden and nearby towns that there was a "health risk" for people living within a 10-mile (16 km) radius of the mine. The aboveground mill tailings had seeped into the ground water systems and were estimated at 16,000,000 cubic yards (12,000,000 m3).
In April 2009, the Vermont Department of Health released a revised study which found that all of the deaths related to the asbestos were caused by workplace exposure, unrelated to living near the mine. The report also concluded that people living near the mines had no increased risk of asbestos-related illness vis-a-vis people living anywhere else in Vermont.
Remediation efforts continue at the site of the mine, with a focus on limiting recreational access to the mine site, erosion control and managing runoff from the site, which seems to be working according to Vermont Public's Brave Little State. Air monitors installed near the site have not found evidence of airborne asbestos leaving the site of the mine.
