Iroquois settled in the county before Europeans arrived in 1609. French settlers in Crown Point, New York, extended their settlements across Lake Champlain. A few individuals or families came up the lake from Canada and established themselves at Chimney Point in 1730. In 1731, Fort Frederic was erected at Cross Point. In 1759, General Amherst occupied Cross Point and British settlers came in.[citation needed] The Battle of Bennington in Bennington, fought on August 16, 1777, brought a turning point for the American independence against British.

The major product of the county was wheat. In the 1820s, farmers began to raise sheep. The Champlain Canal was opened in 1823, making it possible for ships to navigate from the Hudson River.
