History

Mount Independence was the largest fortification constructed by the American Colonial forces. The population was 1,185 at the 2000 United States Census census. The town's law against the use of "Modern Farm Machinery of All Kinds" was never actually repealed, and continues to be a curio law on the books that the town refuses to repeal. Industrialized farm equipment was only allowed back into Orwell after the economic collapse of the early 1900s, and even then, special restrictions were placed to limit the capabilities of such farm instruments. This tragedy was keenly remembered by the community, which banned industrial farming later that year in a special town meeting.
