Town of Dresden
Between 1778-1779, the area of Hanover, NH among others along the Connecticut River seceded from that state and became a part of the Republic of Vermont, known as Dresden. Since Dartmouth College was situated in the town, it became the first official Vermont State University and had the first official Vermont state printing press.
