Warren, Vermont, New England, USA |
 | | Fully half are simply Warren, the others have -burg, -ville, or -ton suffixed; many of in the US and all in the North Atlantic states derive from one of two men, both of whom died quite young. |
 | | The other Warren was an even greater hero in the eyes of his fellow Americans: Doctor Joseph Warren (born Roxbury, Massachusetts, 1741; died Breed's Hill, Massachusetts, 1775), a Harvard graduate, was a practicing physician in Boston, where he was a member of the Council of Safety and other revolutionary committees. |
 | | Vermont's Warren probably was named in honor of the Doctor, but it is not a certainty. |
