Granted on November 9, 1780, Warren was chartered on October 20, 1789, to John Throop and 67 others. It was named for Dr. [[Joseph Warren]], [[American Revolutionary War|Revolutionary War]] [[Patriot (American Revolution)|patriot]]. The first settlers, Samuel Lard and Seth Leavitt, arrived in 1797. Grain and lumber mills were built on the [[Mad River (Vermont)|Mad River]] to grind grain or manufacture lumber and [[Clapboard (architecture)|clapboard]]s.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=OcoMAAAAYAAJ&dq=coolidge%20mansfield%20history%20description%20new%20england%201859&pg=PA931 Austin J. Coolidge & John B. Mansfield, ''A History and Description of New England;'' Boston, Massachusetts 1859]</ref> On the fertile [[valley|intervales]], farmers grew hay. By 1839, when the town's population was 766, cattle and about 4000 sheep grazed the hills.<ref>[http://newenglandtowns.org/vermont/warren Hayward's ''New England Gazetteer of 1839]</ref> Milk and [[maple syrup]] were important commodity goods.
