The village was originally called "Cambridge Center". The name was changed to "Jeffersonville" in 1827 to honor Thomas Jefferson. [5] The village was incorporated in 1897. [6]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.81 square miles (2.1 km2), of which 0.03 square miles (0.07 km2), or 3.25%, is water. [1] The village is located near the geographic center of the town of Cambridge, along the south bank of the Lamoille River where it is joined by the Brewster River. Jeffersonville is 30 miles (48 km) northeast of Burlington via Vermont Route 15. Jeffersonville sits at 1,060 feet (320 m) above sea level, surrounded by higher standing mountains, such as Mount Mansfield (the highest peak in Vermont at 4,393 feet (1,339 m)), 7 miles (11 km) to the south.

The monthly daily average temperatures ranges from 12 °F (−11 °C) in January to 64.4 °F (18.0 °C) in July. The annual precipitation is significant, averaging 72.3 inches (1,840 mm) and is well-distributed throughout the year, but the latter months are the wettest. The town's location east of Lake Champlain sometimes accounts for localized snow squalls, producing up to 18 inches (46 cm) in 12 hours on rare occasions.[20] Annual snowfall is significant, averaging 331.4 inches (842 cm).
