[5] Ira Allen and Remember Baker began surveying the town of Jericho in 1773 for the Onion River Land Company.

[7] In 1776, a detachment of the Continental Army was sent to garrison a blockhouse in Jericho along the Onion (Winooski) River.

The garrison soon retreated back to Fort Ticonderoga within weeks of their arrival due to fears of British advance south from Canada.

The officers involved, including Matthew Lyon, were tried and convicted by court-martial for cowardice and disobeying orders to maintain the post.

[8] The location of the Jericho blockhouse is believed to have been along River Road near the intersection with Skunk Hollow.

[9] In 1780 the Brown family was taken captive by a war party of British-allied Mohawks returning to Canada following the Royalton Raid.

Jericho Corners is the location of the Galusha House, home of Truman Galusha, a brick Federal-style house built in 1790 and like Jericho's Old Red Mill, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

This area features the multi-use Mills Riverside Park and two general stores (Jolley & Jacob's).

Jericho is home to the Chittenden East Wolverines of the Northern Vermont Youth Football League, Cub Scout Pack 620, and one of Vermont's oldest and largest Boy Scout troops, Troop 627.

A fictitious version of Jericho is the setting of the 2022 TV series Wednesday based on the character from The Addams Family.
