This region was sparsely settled at the time of the American Revolution. The men who settled Cabot were predominantly Revolutionary War military veterans. Many came from other states, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New York. Others were from settlements in southern Vermont. The Bayley-Hazen Military Road made Cabot and other wilderness towns accessible. When Cabot was organized in 1788, six commissioned officers and one private were sworn in as the first town officials, by Walter Brock, Justice of the Peace.
