Glover is a town in Orleans County, Vermont, in the United States.
The town is named for Brigadier General John Glover,[4] who served in the American Revolutionary War.
The highest elevation is Black Hills, at 2,258 feet (688 m), in the south part of town.
[8] In the most cataclysmic natural catastrophe affecting Orleans County in post-Columbian times, the banks of Glover's Long Pond gave way on June 6, 1810, and flooded the Barton River valley.
The hero of the day was laborer Spencer Chamberlain who ran ahead of the flood to warn people at the mill.
[8] From about the 1820s to the 1930s, there was a settlement, Slab City, near the outlet from Shadow Lake, whose economy was dependent on the logging, and three sawmills in the area.
The settlement also contained a lime kiln, butter tub factory, a cider mill, a one-room schoolhouse, a post office, a church, and other allied businesses.
[9] In 1836, a suit against the height of the water retained in a dam to power the sawmills was successful.
[8] The unincorporated village of West Glover had a municipal septic system which failed in 2008.
In 2009 and 2010, the Glover Community School stood highest in the county for averaged proficiency in reading and mathematics on the standardized NE-CAP test.
