 Craftsbury, Vermont, New England, USA
In the charter the town was named Minden, thought to honor the 1759 defeat by the English and Germans of the French at the Prussian city of Minden, an event which helped to conclude the Seven Years War (the North American aspect of which was known as the last of the French and Indian wars).
According to the legislative journals the town's name was changed from Minden to Craftsbury in November, 1790 because "from a similarity of sound the names of Lyndon and Mindon are often mistaken one for the other"; the Craftsbury name was chosen to honor the town's chief grantee and first settler.
The first town meeting was held at the Colonel's home in 1792; he was elected selectman at that meeting, and a little later he was elected as the town's first representative to the Legislature.
