History
Settlement began shortly before the American Revolutionary War. At that time, the four towns of Ira, Poultney, Wells, and Tinmouth converged within a fertile valley ringed by mountains. The petition was granted, and the honor of naming the town was given to settler Joseph Spaulding because of his service in surveying the town's borders. He chose "Middletown" as result of its location at the middle of four towns and to pay homage to his hometown of Middletown, Connecticut.
