Menage a Nope in St Johnsbury, Vermont

St. Johnsbury sits in Caledonia County in the north-east of Vermont, a small town of about 7,375 people, a little below its peak of 9,600 around 1930. James Pietragallo sketches its history: granted in 1760 as Bestborough, regranted by Vermont in 1786 as Dunmore, settled that year, and renamed at its first town meeting, held in Jonathan Arnold's house, after Ethan Allen suggested honouring his friend Jean de Crevecoeur, known in America as J. Hector St. John. The name was made St. Johnsbury to distinguish it from St. John in New Brunswick. In the nineteenth century the town made platform scales, invented there in 1830, and maple sugar; George C. Cary founded the Cary Maple Sugar Company in 1904 and built the Maple Grove Farms plant on Portland Street, and St. Johnsbury called itself the maple centre of the world. The railroad from Boston to Montreal arrived in the 1850s and the town became the county seat. By the time of the story it was a quiet, overwhelmingly white place, 94% white, with a median age of 44.9, only 33% religious, a median household income of about $40,000 and a median home price of $141,500.
