Lincoln was incorporated in 1780 and named for Major
General Benjamin Lincoln, who led the Massachusetts Militia at the
Battle of Bennington. Quakers were the earliest settlers to the region.
Lincoln is largely located in the Green
Mountain National Forest and contains the 4052-foot Mount Abraham.
It used to be a large center for logging.
Lincoln Gap, at 2424 feet the highest automobile pass
in the state, is located here. Check it out in the summer for an exhilarating
OMG drive (it's closed in the winter).
