Warren's Gore (or Warrens Gore or Warren Gore) is a gore in Essex County, Vermont, United States. The population was 2 at the 2020 census,[1] down from 4 at the 2010 census. In Vermont, gores and grants are unincorporated portions of a county which are not part of any town and have limited self-government (if any, as many are uninhabited). Warren's Gore is part of the Berlin, NH–VT Micropolitan Statistical Area.
History
The gore was originally chartered to be part of the town of Warren on October 20, 1789. The charter provided for two tracts of land, one of which became the town, the other became the gore. The two tracts were quite a few miles from each other, on opposite sides of the state. The tract that became the gore has been treated as separate from the town since its inception. The charter referred to the two tracts collectively as "a Township by the name of Warren".[2]
While the place was known as Warren's Gore, including in Vermont state statutes,[3] the U.S. Board on Geographic Names eschews the use of apostrophes in geographic names, which may improperly imply personal possession.[4] This has led to the use of both Warrens Gore and Warren Gore as well. The Vermont Atlas and Gazetteer (Delorme, 9th ed., 1996) uses Warren Gore on the relevant map (p. 55) but also uses Warrens Gore (with no apostrophe) for the gore's entry in the index (p. 7).
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the gore has a total area of 11.4 square miles (29.5 km2), of which 10.5 square miles (27.3 km2) is land and 0.81 square miles (2.1 km2), or 7.26%, is water.[5] The gore contains the majority of Norton Pond, the source of the Coaticook River, which flows north into Quebec. Less than one mile south of Norton Pond is the source of the Pherrins River, which flows south to Island Pond and is part of the Clyde River (Lake Memphremagog) watershed.
Vermont Route 114 passes through Warrens Gore, leading north to Norton and south to Island Pond.
