[4] Vermont was in the flooding zone when the Wildcat Creek Reservoir was constructed in 1957, and it never recovered from that.

Vermont was named in 1849 after the home state of the town's founder, Milton Hadley.

In 1957, the county built the Wildcat Creek Reservoir and Vermont was in the flood zone for that.

Part of the town either moved north slightly or the northern tip is all that remains today.

[7] The Vermont Covered Bridge that is now located in Highland Park and on the National Register Of Historic Places list in nearby Kokomo was once a bridge used in Vermont on the Wildcat Creek.
