GeographyAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 36.1 square miles (93.4 km2), all land. HistoryTroy was chartered as "Missisquoi." It once produced over {{convert|400|ST}} of cast iron annually.[6] In the winter of 1799, a small party of Indians, led by their chief, Captain Susap, joined the colonists at Troy, built their camps on the river and wintered near them. These Indians were nearly starving, which probably arose from the moose and deer, which formerly abounded here, being destroyed by the settlers. Their principal employment was making baskets, birch-bark cups and pails, and other Indian trinkets. They left in the spring and never returned. One of the party was a squaw, Molly Orcutt, who became quite noted among the settlers as a healer. She was found dead on Mount white Cap, in East Andover, Maine, in 1817, having died, it is believed, at an age of 140 years.[7] Dr. Levi Moore and A.j. Rowell were Underground Railroad agents before the Civil War.[8] In one of the stranger chapters in Vermont history, researcher and scientist Gerald Bull constructed the Space Research Corporation in Highwater the town's Quebec neighboring city, in 1967. His intent was to fire research packages into orbit using heavy artillery. This laboratory straddled the Vermont border. Bull was ultimately imprisoned for violating international regulations regarding an embargo on South Africa. This resulted in the bankruptcy of his corporation. In 1998, a flood damaged the generator at Bakers Falls dam. The 600 kW generator produced an annual output of 1,500 MW.[9] In 2010, the Troy Elementary School had the highest percentage of students qualifying for free lunch in the county, 73%. The state average was 31%.[10] Demographics{{US Census population|1810= 231 |1820= 227 |1830= 608 |1840= 855 |1850= 1008 |1860= 1246 |1870= 1355 |1880= 1522 |1890= 1673 |1900= 1467 |1910= 1686 |1920= 1869 |1930= 1898 |1940= 1869 |1950= 1786 |1960= 1613 |1970= 1457 |1980= 1498 |1990= 1609 |2000= 1564 |2010= 1662 |estyear=2014 |estimate=1622 |estref=[11] |align-fn=center |footnote=[https://www.census.gov/prod/www/abs/decennial/ U.S. Decennial Census] }} As of the census[2] of 2000, there were 1,564 people, 617 households, and 431 families residing in the town.
