Editing Warren's Gore, Vermont (section)

==History==
Warren's Gore was originally chartered to be part of the town of [[Warren, Vermont|Warren]] on October 20, 1789. The charter provided for two tracts of land, one which became the town and the other which became the gore. They were almost 100 miles from each other, on opposite sides of the state. Why they were chartered together is still uncertain, but it is possible that this was due to the tract of land for the grant that became the town of Warren being smaller than most; the inclusion of the gore would therefore have been a tactic to increase the total land area. The tract that became the gore has been treated as separate from the town since its inception. The charter referred to the two tracts collectively as "a Township by the name of Warren".<ref>''State Papers of Vermont, Volume Two: Charters Granted by the State of Vermont'', Vermont Secretary of State, 1922, pp.&nbsp;207–9, also p.&nbsp;362.</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-03-26 |title=Then Again: A use for Vermont's leftover bits and pieces |url=https://vtdigger.org/2017/03/26/then-again-a-use-for-vermonts-leftover-bits-and-pieces/ |access-date=2022-12-13 |website=VTDigger |language=en-US}}</ref>

While the place was known as Warren's Gore, including in Vermont state statutes,<ref>''E.g.'', Title 17, Chapter 34, Section 1893; Title 24,  Chapter 117, Section 4341(e).</ref> the [[Board on Geographic Names|U.S. Board on Geographic Names]] eschews the use of apostrophes in geographic names, which may improperly imply personal possession.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.usgs.gov/core-science-systems/ngp/board-on-geographic-names/how-do-i|title=How Do I?|website=www.usgs.gov|access-date=2020-01-08}}</ref> This has led to the use of both Warrens Gore and Warren Gore as well. The ''Vermont Atlas and Gazetteer'' (Delorme, 9th ed., 1996) uses ''Warren Gore'' on the relevant map (p.&nbsp;55) but also uses ''Warrens Gore'' (with no apostrophe) for the gore's entry in the index (p.&nbsp;7).
