About Brookfield, Vermont 
Orange County
*Area, Population and Density rankings above refer to Brookfield's relative position among Vermont's 255 civic entities (9 cities, 242 towns, 4 gores and grants). Complete rankings are here.
There is no real trail as to the origin of the name. Some believe it to be after Brookfield, Massachusetts (the only Brookfield in the US older than Vermont's) where it is a genuinely "made" name. The only floating bridge in Vermont (pictured above) crosses Sunset Lake (formerly Colts Pond, from a family that once owned much of the shoreline). Nearly 300 feet long, the bridge rests on tarred oaken barrels, which allow it to adjust to the level of the water.
