History

The town in which this village is located was chartered in 1781 as "Alburgh". The town's name was changed in 1891 to "Alburg" by recommendation of the United States Board on Geographic Names, so it was that name adopted by Alburg Village when it was incorporated in 1917. By vote of village residents and approval by the Vermont Department of Libraries (in its capacity as the authority on Vermont place names), in 2006 its name reverted to the original spelling of Alburgh. As an incorporated village, it is administered by a publicly elected board of trustees. [6]
