Records from Norwich

Norwich is a town in Windsor County, Vermont, United States, located along the Connecticut River opposite Hanover, New Hampshire. The population was 3,414 at the 2010 census. The town was named after Norwich, Connecticut, the state from which the first settlers originated. In the original charter, the name was spelled "Norwhich", but the additional 'h' was dropped shortly after the town was chartered. Originally pronounced "Norritch" (similar to the English pronunciation of the city of Norwich) the town name has in more recent times become more commonly pronounced "Nor-wich". Norwich University was located here originally. It moved to Northfield, Vermont, in 1866 after a fire devastated the campus.
