A short history of Monkton

Iron ore deposits around Monkton provided iron for cannonballs used by Macdonough's fleet, which was built in Vergennes during the War of 1812.

Monkton's observance of the U.S. Bicentennial began with a number of small community projects which culminated with a two-day extravaganza on August 21 and 22, 1976. The first of the preliminary projects was to place American flags on all the veterans' graves in the town cemeteries, with the second the making of over forty quilts. Finally, two banners were made to announce the upcoming weekend of events.

In 2012, Monkton observed its 250th anniversary. During the annual Town Hall meeting on March 6th, the town chose a town flag from a selection of five entries submitted by residents.
