Chartered in 1762, Hinesburg's history is rooted in farming and early water-powered manufacturing. Today, the village is still surrounded by open green farmland along the LaPlatte River, and is a relatively small town outside Burlington. About 6 miles square, the western half is in the Champlain Valley, the eastern half in the foothills of the Green Mountains. The village contains State Hwy. 116 running north/south, a lively array of stores and services, the local elementary/middle school and local 4-town union high school, a number of manufacturing concerns and several parks and recreation facilities including Lake Iroquois, offering year-round activities. Climate: Most of Hinesburg is located in the Lake Champlain valley which runs north-south along the western edge of the state. Due to the low altitude and tempering effect of the lake, this is Climate Zone 4 with an average last frost about late May and average first frost in late September. Winter cold snaps are not uncommon, however, and can reach -20 to -30F. The eastern part of Hinesburg is located on the first ridge of the Green Mountains where it is Zone 3. Residents of the village on a rainy November morning often stare at 3" of snow on the cars of people who live just 1 mile east of the town center. Spring thaw, usually in late March or early April, brings "mud season", where in the hilly dirt roads can become almost impassable for a day or five. Summers are relatively temperate.
