Starksboro was chartered in 1780 and was originally known as Starksborough.
The Starksboro' centre village Aqueduct Company was incorporated in 1828 by Elijah Ferguson, Joseph Hill, Alferd Clark, and Asel Wentworth "for the purpose of completing, repairing and enjoying said aqueduct." The language in the charter indicates the company had begun construction of a system. No further information has been found about this system.
The Starksboro Aqueduct Company was incorporated on November 8, 1908 and built a system that operated until it was taken over in 1999 by the Starksboro Water Supply Cooperative.
The Starksboro Water Supply Cooperative was incorporated on June 17, 1998.
