'''Lewis''' is a town in [[Essex County, Vermont|Essex County]], [[Vermont]], United States. The town was named for landholders Nathan, Sevignior, and Timothy Lewis.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=278091|title=Profile for Lewis, Vermont|publisher=[[ePodunk]]|accessdate=May 9, 2010}}</ref> Although incorporated by the state, the town was never formally organized, since it never gained a sufficiently large permanent population.
